need RHD hood latch for 74

[74DatsunZ]

I have a 74 Fairlady that I am restoring. I am in need of a hood latch. If anyone has one available please let me know. All I can find via ebay and motorsportsZ are for the LHD models.

 

 

Thanks,

I thought they were all the same...

Nope...LHD bonnet releases pull from the passenger side (to us) and RHD well, you know the cable enters from the drivers side. Mechanism is opposite.

I posted pics under my gallery, just need to wait for admin approval.

 

I thought I could just switch it over the LHD, but the stock hood (bonnet) release cable will not reach since it has to go around the mounting bracket on the firewall.

 

Thanks
