so in order to put my hood on i will have to adjust the latch a little bit (up, as in twards the hood) and i have not looked on what it is gonna take. figured you good ppl could answer the question for me and save me some time. do they justt loosen the bolts and slide it up or are they pretty fixed requireing me to take the latch off and make the holes "slotted" for adjustability?

thanks guys. knowing what i will have to do will save some much needed time, and will aid in time management in the reassembly of the rest of the car.

i'd say it is adjustable , the in and out and side to side should be the latch, the up and down is the rubber stoppers by the fenders

but the hood closes almost too far now. the latch will need to come up to it.

even in this pic it is plenty far "down" for allignment and is still not latched so idont want to make it go down any more so the latch will come up to it. one way or another it will move. i just figured that someone here would have a clue on how the latch mounts.

Scrap the latch and pin it? My only thought here...
