Remove the spring latch in the rear center, replace it with a shortened hood pin, then make a Z shaped receiver plate for it. use an R clip to hold the hood in the closed position. You can reach the clip through the opening at the rear of the hood. </div><div><br>On May 24, 2016, at 8:33 PM, Curt Bowland via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

solution that does not use pins at each corner. The length of the pins will
allow choice of opening. With pins you could also lay a length of hose in the
center (about 1.5 or 1.75 dia.) and use the pins (adjusted for height) to
keep your hood from flying up. The hose should keep the hood open enough for
additional air flow.</font></div>
