[TR] hood latch issue

[dave northrup]

1972 Triumph TR6

I have a backup hood release but that’s not the issue

If you only pull either the regular or backup release, nothing really happens and you cannot open the hood after that.  BUT if you also attempt to pry (or is that prise?) the hood open at the same time, it comes open.

In other words, the hood opens fine, from either the regular hood release, or the backup release, IF and only IF, you pry a finger under the hood and give it a little help.

Now I won’t argue – this is a pretty great theft deterrent as I usually disconnect the battery while its parked.  But it’s a royal PITA and I’d really like to fix it.

Thoughts???
