I would like to get a LHD gt4 but like the oem riserblocks
I want, it takes months to get. I am going to purchase another stock latch and modify it for now. Any pics / help would be great. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

I have read to extend the hook, but that is just the safety catch
mine doesn't latch on the regular at all, meaning I don't have to pull the release inside to open it. Once the bumper is on I will have no way to unlatch at all. I thought about slotting the mounting holes to extend the whole thing upward but I don't want to ruin the only latch I have.
