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 read Lagos post in this thread. Mine is just hooking on the
safty latch. It can be opened from the outside, just extending the hook on the safty latch doesn't help if it wont hook on the main latch. I need to pull my bumper cover off to see what it is doing. When I figure it out I'll write a how to article for it and if I have to fabricate some kind of extension bracket, I'll make extras and a dimensioned drawing so others can make it or buy one for a reasonable price. I agree with Mannys statment, I have to much invested in this to ruin it all because of a hood latch failure. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...47&hl=latch -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.
