Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Hood Latch with Mounting Bracket

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a quick look at this hood latch with mounting bracket. This hood latch helps keep your vehicle's hood closed and this is going to be ideal for Jeeps or agricultural vehicles. And the 90 degree mount is going to allow the hook and bracket to be positioned on the same plane. And the steel construction with chrome finish is going to be very durable and it's going to resist corrosion.

And this is going to be a simple bolt-on installation. However, I do wanna make sure that you know that no mounting hardware is included with this, so you would have to pick up the appropriate hardware to mount this that's going to best fit your particular application. Now for a list of measurements that are going to help you make sure that this is going to work for you, we do have a list of those measurements on this product page. So if you'll just scroll down to the lower half of this product page, you will find those measurements that will help you be sure and be confident that this is going to work for you. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today.

I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

Excellent product, Delivery was 2 days late. Still satisfied.

I think it’s BS that it doesn’t come with the latch part.is that why the bag was open so you could remove it and charge extra for it . And 4 work days before it left your place . Won’t buy from you guys again .

I believe you received the wrong part as the latch is supposed to be attached to this item. Customer Service will reach out to you.



by:

I did not know the catches had to be bought separate.so I have spring latches no catches,or bolts

Yes, I am sorry as this latch includes only the latch and not the top mounting bracket part # PLR281 nor mounting hardware. I am requesting an update to the product page so it is clearer with what is does not come with.

Great service. Nice part



by:

Works fine started rusting within weeks. Funny I got this request for rating as I was pondering buying the stainless ones instead. Basically if you don't care how they look in a month, go for it. If you do, buy stainless. Not the cheap chrome plated. Lesson learned.

  • Which Keeper To Use with the Pilot Hood Latch With Vertical Mounting Bracket
    The keeper is not included with the Hood Latch with Mounting Bracket - Vertical Mount # PLR185, but you can use the # PLR281 as the keeper for this latch; this was the one you were looking at-so you were on the right track. The hardware (bolts and nuts) are not included as most people simply re-use their existing hardware. For a similar kit that includes both the keepers and the hardware, you can use Bestop Replacement Hood Latch for Jeep Wrangler 1941-1995 # B5129100 (chrome) or # # B5129101...
