Ronny. No, you don't. Save yourself alot grief. Back-off

the little rubber bumpers which keep the hood from going

too low, when you shut it. In fact, just remove these, because

this is only for people who slam their hoods. Next, see if the

side of the hood aligns with the fender (both sides). If your

driver's side is too low (as you indicate), place washers between

the hood and the locking mechanism (hinge). Do not use the

spacers some SECs come with. They hold rust. Just vary the

thickness of the washers, depending on how much you are off.

You will see what I mean, once you begin to play with the latch

(hinge). It's more easy and simple than my narrative. Once

you have adjusted it properly, you will not need to push the hood

down any more than a gentle nudge to close it. The spring in the

latch prevents the hood from 'sitting' too low, so you never need

the rubber bumpers. Hope this makes sense. I just did this on

my '89.

I need a locking device for the engine hood, the one on the drivers side.
The hood from my 1987 560 sec will only falls in the lock when I use a lot
of power down worth.

Does somebody has one available?
