The hood latch on my GT V-8 was constantly popping up at speed, until
I replaced the two little rubber buffers on top of the grille. These
buffers (used only on 1962-69 and 1973-74 Bs) prevent the hood from
rocking from side to side. Moss Motors is perpetually out of these
buffers, I got mine from Victoria British.
It will also help to loosen the hood latch pin and turn it 1/2 turn,
as mentioned before. This places an unworn part of the hood pin in
contact with the latch plate.
Cheers, PK
