Jim,
While I cannot answer all your questions, there is some help that can be
provided. All the information you need in on http://www.TigersUnited.com
The Search engine will find you plenty of references to the search for
"hood latch" (exact phrase) so read amongst.
My own comments, which were easy to do, and once done, never redo again,
can be found on http://www.TigersUnited.com/techtips/tt-body9.asp
Just scroll down the page to the many pictures of the latch and process,
right below "Jim Pickard's question on the same subject in Aug.,
1999!!!!!! (9-)

Yes. I bought mine from a Cobra parts supplier, of which there are many.
This one is a SOLID piece, not stamped steel, and very finely made.
Sorry, Don't have any Hurst information.
