Creative option to the stock hood safety latch ?

[hyghlndr]

Due to some modifications on my Bronco, the stock safety latch will no longer work/fit. Has any one came up with any other option to serve as a secondary safety lock?

I had to move mine, for room for my trans cooler, so I made a new cautch and moved the safety hook.

What about hood pins

I had an Autolite carburetor catch fire on me one time. Hood pins seemed to take forever to get pulled so I could lift the hood. I left them off when I painted.

I do need to do something with my hood latch though, may have to see if your idea works on mine.

I have hood pins that came with the 351 I bought, still in the package, yours if you want em

Thanks for the ideas so far. Appreciate the hood pins offer but I am going with a super stock look. I really like the mods by Savage, going to have to look at it again tonight.

I just got the BC Broncos remote hood latch system installed last night.

Could you post a photo and describe the mod you're trying to work around?
