Okay, a buddy of mine's 69 Road Runner is nearing completion & he's missing a few little items, one is the hood latch lever.... I have a few latches from back when B bodies were in the wrecking yards but I'm not 100% sure whats what...

On Ebay We found a couple different but similar designs I have one design if it's truly correct... Or at least works... Since the car isn't near me I'm hoping someone knows Plymouths... Hopefully there's someone like that around here....

Anyway photos.... The first three are what I have which appears to be the same as the last one which is listed on Ebay as 68 & 69 Road Runner

This one is different (hard 90 degree bends) and clearly is listed as a 69 Road Runner..

The one marked 69 runner is the right one.

Kinda what I figured... Any idea if the one I have will work? It's very similar....
(just temporarily till he finds the right part)

Don't think so due to the action of the lever to the latch. Not much room. Or the bolt holes may be different. Just my two cent's.

What the heck bolt it on and see. Nothing ventured nothing gained. It might just work. Blue.

Yeah, that's probably how it's gonna go... At least till we find the right one.... I probably have one, just can't seem to lay hands on it right now.... The offset is very close, just a matter of whether the angle causes interference... End of the project & missing parts get discovered... This is the kinda stuff I try to figure out way ahead of time.. Butttttt..
