Does anyone have a photo of the correct mounting position for the front hood (on radiator shell) latch mounts? Thank you...JIM

I have been notified by Jim that he has found his information and request that this task be deleted, I'll attempt to just close it instead.

I am pretty sure they really only fit and the bracket also into specific holes.

Hi Mike: The problem is that they can be installed on either side. In this case, I removed the bubble wrap from the hood and placed it on the car. JIM

Jim when you look at the closing mechanism HOOK and the bracket, the flat part faces outward and the angled pointy part faces inward to accept the hook.

The one that goes low on the cowl section the bent area faces outward.
