locking hood option

[micky]

this idea came to me a while back and i thought i would share it with yal. if you decide to try this idea i would reccoment mocint the cam lock down a half inch or so. the idea is that a bracket welded to the hood latch is blocked by a cam lock. hope you find this useful.

Cool idea. would be really cool to key that lock the same as the tuffy box...

great idea! with one hook in both sides

Very cool! I like that it doesn't stick out and looks clean. Nice job.

Is the latch found on later FJ40's? I don't have anything like that on my '71.

You should not have one; they were first installed 09/73.

Do I have to leave my bezel off or will it work if I turn it upside down?
