Who ?
Some years ago, in the painting job of my SV, the stupid painter lost the
hodd latch mechanism. So dramatic because the hood "floats" at high speed.
I d'ont find it. But... I adapt a (very similar) latch mechanism of VW
beetle, it works fine. Sure is not the original, but is better of nothing.
