Finished off the two internal assemblies for the hood latches. Made new collars from turning down a bolt with the correct size threads. The heads for latch ends were done on the lathe. I’m glad I made four as I got carried away on the lathe and turned them down too small. However I only needed two so I’ll keep them as spares. The springs are an off the shelf item from the local hardware store. They are very close to the originals with only slightly smaller wire gauge used but have one extra coil. Now just to wait until next month when the foundry does the cast pieces for me.
