HOOD LATCH OPENING LEVER & HARDWARE

[mikedevore]

ANYONE HAVE PICS OF WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE ON A 1977 VOLARE.
I HAVE A LATCH & A ROD COMING OFF, BUT NOTHING THAT PROTRUDS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR TO OPEN IT.
PARTS BREAK DOWN OR PICS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Bad info, thats how an aspen is set up, the volare bracket is placed into the grille itself. Look to the drivers side 1/2 way down and you will see the mounting points for the lever.

Not being harsh to you P61. They are just way different.

Good grief, what happened to all the helpful volare people? Took 18 seconds to help this guy.

If you need the hardware, pm me.

 

[XfbodyX]

Does your grille at least have the clips in it for the lever?

Now im really cursing the able body fux, takes an old man with a gimped leg (and thats my good one) to do this.

Missing everything, I would be interesting in buying a complete set up.
Is it easier to put the remote inside hood release in it?

 

[XfbodyX]

Its easy but the nos guys want really stupid money for them.

Whats your application? I have a cool setup I took off my bracket car as a inside deal I dont need.

I have a factory remote hood release for sale if your interested.

 

[mikedevore]

Well, a couple of people have offered help, but I haven't heard back from anyone.

 

[XfbodyX]

PM me your email addy and I will send a pic of the deal I got and not using.

Sorry I figured all the hawks swooped in and did something. Hell, ive not tripped or fallen in a few days, let me get the wife to bed and I will go find what I mentioned and post a pic.

I had it mounted on the lower inside bar of the dash, the approx 1 inch wide semi channeled metal bar that the lower drivers dash screws to.

It has the connection to go through the bulkhead as well. I cant find the lil allen set screw but im sure any hardware store has it.

Does it connect directly on the latch itself?

 

[XfbodyX]

Yes, do you have a latch? The one end fits in and then the cable holder area runs through and you slide the little eyelet up tight and tighten the set screw on the cable.

Let me look at some of the under hood latches, I think they are the same and all have provisions for the cable, but just when I say that I could be wrong so I will look.
