GlacierAttila,
I managed to get the hood in the lock, but then the hood is a little lower than the fender.
I also went back to my mechanic and let him read your comments. He understands your information, but he said the problem is the lock, because it is not holding the hood.
Do you know if the lock from the sel is the same as from an sec?

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?
