[6pack] [TR] hood latch issue

[DAVID MASSEY]

 That happened on my TR3.  And due to poor alignment (self-administered dope-slap here) the secondary catch didn't hold either.  That was a $1,000 mistake.

When those pop open at 40 mph, it definitely is an experience!  Alex Thomson  73 TR6  From: Triumphs [mailto:triumphs-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of dave northrup

Subject: Re: [TR] hood latch issue  Its always scary to mess with the hood latch given the potential consequences.   Thanks to those who chimed in.  I noticed that the pin was not landing squarely in the hole so I used a screwdriver to turn it 45 degrees and now the hood pops open just like it should._______________________________________________
