Which ones did you get Tony? How much stretch did you go with?
Here's what I found on Pegasus https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/keywordse...rt=rubber+latch These on Amazon don't look bad but maybe too small: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055DQN4...f_rd_i=16412941 |

Tried the magnet test (per 914forme) and not so much attraction there; so happy with that. I went with minimum possible stretch when latched, not wanting to stress the fiberglass hood too much. Some persuasive metal work was required on the base to match the profile of the trunk curve, as I recall. - Tony |
