Anyone know where I can find an engine lid latch and all components, cables etc also hinges? I have a 1958 CMC.

Kirk at Vintage Speedster should have what you need. He doesn't reply to email as well as he does phone calls. Call him and explain what you're looking for.

Strange that MG Magic lists the front hood hinges but not the rear. Ouch $28 each. I'd contact them to see if they have the rear -- assume you need the steel mounting brackets too. They could be made with angle iron and welding. I have seen TR3 hinges used (they are surface mounted). I believe I have extra hood bear claw latch - I'll check. The other half of it is simple bolt and washers. Cable would be a $10 choke or old lawn mower throttle cable (Google "Choke Cable".)

Wolgang. Thank you again for your help. Is there a post anywhere with a picture of what the latch should look like?
