[DeTomaso] Oh S%$# Moment... Help Please

[The DeTomaso Registry Guy]

I think he means this part...

I've just added one photo (from like a hundred I have yet to add for this
car...)

The seller added a bolt or all-thread as a temp fix.  The new owner will
likely deal with this once the car arrives in Norway.

If you are referring to the rear deck latch, here it what you want:

I used to have the POC wiry pin latch. It would allow the rear to move back
and forth and damage the rear fenders. This hold it in place. Hall is closed
on Mondays but can overnight on Tuesday. PPC and others would have the same
thing. Yes it's bolt on. If this isn't what your looking for....never mind.

I just broke the metal rod off of the bracket that acts as a pin for the
hood hold down latch.
(Photo available)
My hood latch has long been a PIA, because the hood would unlatch itself
often Speed bumps, severe rumble strips) , I was just installing a new (to
me)
factory latch and was straightening the rod/pin/stud, when it simply broke
off in my pliers.

Now WTF am I supposed to do, the hood was just painted (black) less than a
year ago, I do do relish any welding.

Is there a bolt on option, replacing the tub mounted receiver and a bolted
on pin that I can attach to the car?

The thought of hood pins is gagging me.

I'm open to anything, especially if I can get it done by Wednesday night,
I'm supposed to leave Thursday morning for the Summer Summit.

Any advice or ideas will be appreciated, no matter how far out they might
be.

Michael
