Hi,

My Bonnet latch of my 1987 141a is not working. When i close bonnet it doesnt releases anymore

After investigation i discovered previous owner seems to have hacked up original mounting points and put a early style (till1986 ) latch. It doesnt line up with bonnet hook

Need some pics how metal should look so i can repair it in correct way and install original latch

Found a picture online in res high enough to zoom in.
Seems it is not so bad as expected
Instead of a stud behind the humps they drilled them out and replaced by (bad fitting) bolts.

Try to fix that
