Is This Hood Latch / Release Correct?
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 8:26 am
I recently bought the same item in an ebay auction without being able to look at my GTX, as it's in storage. However, The illustrations in both the 1971 and 1972 Service Manuals are different. Mainly the primary release handle as far as I can see.
Can anyone look at this pic and tell whether it is correct? On this one, the primary release is the ~5/16" diameter rod. It doesn't show because of the bracket it's protruding through, but the rod has a 90 degree bend at the end with about 2" worth to grab and pull downward on. This pic is upside-down.
My GTX actually has the remote release, but the cable is broken and at the time I was not sure I could find a new one.
Thanks,
Mark
