The hood/bonnet latch assy. on my '65 was plated.
If that is the way that you want to go, you can drill out the original
rivets, dissemble, plate and re-assemble.
I used some large diam. pop rivets to assemble.
Use a generous dose of PH grease on the internals.
Move the catch arm until the cam is visible through the pin window.
Clamp the release cable to the arm when it is in that position.
Then, when you pull the release cable, the arm locks onto the lower pin,
tensions the spring and the cam moves out of the window.
They could have made it more complicated but the Design Engineer ran out
of time:-D
Pics. just for you ;-)
Let me know if you need any thing else, but NOT $;-)
