Title: 1969 Hood safety catch
Post by: kasearch@ix.netcom.com on June 29, 2022, 04:33:22 PM
Just when I thought that it would be a simple item to find, I can't locate a replacement striker (safety catch) for the HOOD on my GT500.  Any one have one?

I believe standard '69-'70 hood latch strikers are the same for Shelby(?).

If you are talking about the bar that attaches to the hood (I believe this is correct) I think you will find 69 and 70 are a little bit different shape and finish (they are standard mustang).   ;)   :)

I do agree.  For some reason, none of the standard suppliers (NPD, Branda, Classic) seem to carry the 69-70.  Anyone else that you could recommend would be greatly appreciated.
