Are you talking about the piece on the hood, or the catch on the radiator core?

Mustang hood pieces are too short...it may be possible to use a Mark VII one. That's all I know about those.

You are talking about the safety latch that bolts to the core support  right? I don't have one of those.

I guess I am still unclear of what you need... are you needing the part the cable goes into? or are you needing the stamped metal piece?  thanks
