Key compatibility and installation considerations

Specifically designed for 1963–1964 Chevrolet Corvette (C2), with hardware that integrates with the firewall-mounted hood latch system.

Practical tips for best results

• During installation, verify the latch body alignment with the hood edge to ensure even sealing and smooth engagement.
• Inspect the release cable for any fraying or stiffness; replace if signs of wear appear to maintain reliable hood operation.
• Test hood closure multiple times on a closed, level surface to confirm secure latching and smooth release from inside the cockpit.
