Is your car LHD in the UK?
Unfortunately the LHD ones are much harder to come by since the majority of GT4's were RHD. I'm sure you'd have better luck on ebay or a Toyota parts department in a LHD European country. If you still need help - contact member Lagos. Most likely he can order you one.
BTW - Your stock ST-202/4/AT-200 latch will work and hold tight but if you want a safety catch you will need to extend it by roughly 1/2". Not difficult by any means and alot of us in the US have either done that or just gone without the safety catch [don't pull your hood release while driving obviously].
If worse came to worse I'm sure I can extend you one from a junkyard if you wanna pay for one.

Wait bro!!!
The information you read is for us LHD people - most of here were from the US in the early days. If you have a RHD car you need a RHD GT4 hood latch. Good for you because they are easy to find. You can probably find one in a junk yard in the UK [Breakers I think you call them?]
And you are right to be cautious but I used a ST-202/4 hood latch for several years without incident. But since you should easily be able to find the proper latch - get one.
Hope this helps
BTW - contact member _Jim_ - I'm almost positive he has several of them laying around from all the clips he has broken down over the years
