i TOOK THE HOOD LATCHES OFF APPROX. A YEAR AGO WHILE RESTORING A 46 AND MUST HAVE MISPLACED SOME PARTS. tHERE HAS TO BE A SPRING MECHANISM IN IT SOMEHOW. IF SOMEONE HAS A PICTURE OR AN EXPLANATION IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. ---sorry for the caps . Didn't realize it was on. Should have it on the road in a month if all goes well. Will post some pictures.

what you see is the spring on the hand-grip side who is pulling him upwards

I had the handles rechromed and it made the diameter a few MM WIDER AND THEY WOULD NOT FIT DOWN INTO THE BRACKET. ONCE i FIGURED THAT OUT IT IS NO PROBLEM. THANKS
