Hood Latch linkage Rods

I'm looking for the hood latch release linkage (rods & brackets) for a locking type latch for a `70 442.

I assume you mean the optional hood lock that had the cable running into the interior with the lever on the dash....remote hood lock option.

Just in case you aren't aware, the intermediate rod for this type hood lock is a different length compared to the standard hood lock setup. Don't want you to get stuck with the wrong parts.

With that said exactly what do you need??

1) Pull handle (Black plastic over metal rod that sticks out above the license plate?

2)Pivot (bolts to the core support nose piece and connects #1 to #3)--Note--this piece mounts to the core support nose piece with a unique bolt, a nylon washer and a locknut---not pictured)

3)Intermediate Rod (runs from Pivot up to the hood lock)? Note--Pic shows both styles/lengths

4)Clips to hold #1 and #3 to #2?

5)Any other parts??

Can't say these are for sale but maybe the pics will help you find the right parts.

Now I just have to remember if the remote hood lock uses the longer or shorter intermediate rod!! On the other hand you could always cut and weld sections from two shorter rods IF the remote lock used the longer one (and vice versa).....much easier to find non-remote intermediate rods also.
