Has anyone had issue with the st205 hood latch not locking into place ? I know that the latch seat where the oem bolts hole from the original latch. The issue is that i can't get the latch to lock the hood down with the frame of the front end in the US it only click with the latch hook. Is there a bracket that i need to make in order for it to work?
Any suggestions.... Thanks

you would hate to see me closing my hood.

it's a rally car, I highly doubt toyota designed it to my lightly massaged in place, I have dropped mine since day one, and no issues, pushing it concentrates the force in one spot increasing the chace of leaving a print on the alluminum rather than dropping the whole thing.

yes same here dropped since day one, closes first time evey time.

To OP try adjusting the rubber bumpers down, I drop mine from about 8 inches up and it closes perfect with no, or very little play when latched.

some sort of bracket would have to be small, aka weak to fit in the space you have for the safety catch, I made a new catch so it would only have to be welded in one spot.
