[DeTomaso] Front hood latch

[Forest Goodhart]

I'm not aware of any early/late hood latch. My parts catalog shows only one part number 18103A latch. New at Wilkinson for $106.00.

 My front hood latch decided at Concorso Italiano that enough is enough, and it wants to retire. Fotunatly, it got me home before
giving up totally. I'm sure this latch is not a DeTomaso  unique part. So, before I call a vendor, can someone tell me if I can
get a replacement cheaper somewhere else. 
Thanks for the help...Steve Griffin




Steve's car is 6661, an 11/73 build, so he is looking for the later L style latch.

Beautiful Yellow L by the way.  Pics in registry show the front trunk and the latch can be seen.

Make sure to add the "back up" latch cable too!
