Re: Hood latch reliability?
I had a chance to look over the stock latch. Yes, it looks secure. But there is no safety catch! I had the hood on my Olds pop at 65 mph. The safety catch kept it from flipping over the windshield! That's why I'm hesitant to use the stock latch.
I'm thinking of a pin to securely latch it when closed. Maybe a solenoid operated in sync with a power door lock system. Put it in drive or lock the doors, and the hood is electrically pinned shut.
Ideas are turning in my head.
