Re: Photo needed of Hood Latch 1972 Blazer

I think all you'd need is a large 1.5 to 2 inch cup type washer on the bottom of a 1.5 to 3 inch tall spring.
Sandwich the open end of the spring on the underside of the hood and seat the cup washer on the top of the "top shaped" insert that fits into the latch
Closed hood keep this spring set up in compression, unlatching the hood realeases the spring and you should have enough of a gap to get your fingers in.
