WTB: Hood Latch - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #91852 8 posts Started by jesse09
My extended hood latch to fit my gt4 hood snapped the other day.

So if you have a happen to have access to a cheap hood latch please let me know and if you can go ahead and extend it to fit the gt4 hood, i'd pay extra.

I don't want to spend 75 dollars for it from the dealer and then another 25 for a shop to modify it.

Thanks
Jesse

I happen to have the one for a RHD. Is this the one you need? It is not extended, but just short. You would need to extended as I can't do it at the moment.

No I don't think the RHD mechanism will work for mine. . Just needing USDM LHD one. Thanks though
Do this:
All you need is a GT4 hood latch and a Stock GT hood latch…
You do not have to source the rare hood latch…

This by far is better than extending it… And its way easy to do yourself…
Feels like a factory hood latch as well smile.gif

I did think about this option as well but I figured a RHD GT4 hood latch will be harder to come by. I would prefer doing it that way if I could get one cheap and quick lol
where in tx are you again ? if your close to me (brenham area), or willing to drive i can weld you a little extension in yours no charge.
