68 right female hood latch

[Dan L.]

Does anyone know where I can get a right side female hood latch of a 1968? I understand these latches were unique for 68.

Thanks

There were at least two different sets of hood lock plates used for 1968. The early set was, of course, unique to 1968. The later set was also used for most 1969's built through about September, 1969. The photo below shows the L1968-E1969 right side plate [not for sale].

Thanks Joe,

The picture is helpful as mine is missing. Now I know what the latch looks like. Any idea where I can find one? I am current searching on ebay - no luck so far.

By the way, the early 1968 and L1968-E1969 upper latches are functionally interchangeable. The L1969-76 left side latch is interchangeable with 1968-E1969 IF the latch bolt is also changed to the L1969-76 design. The L1969-76 right side latch is not interchangeable with 1968-E1969.

Someone is parting out a 68 on ebay now. I think I saw the latches you are looking for.

Thanks to everyone for their input. An NCRS member had the part.
