Don't have your hood fly up on you.
Drill a hole in your emergency latch (Falcon shown but a slick is very similar).
use a hitch pin or padlock through the hole, and save expensive hood, windshield, and underwear repair

Hey John,
Can you give me a little better explanation of this? When I saw my "new"
Slick today for the first time, a loose emergency latch is one of the first things I noticed when opening the hood. Might have to just wire it shut for the trip home... really don't want that hood flipping up on me.
Cheers,
Dion
PS - by the way, the truck is great!
I personally drilled a 5/16 hole in mine. I use a padlock instead of the hitch pin shown. You start with a 1/16 drill bit and work your way up to the size you need. If you do it this way you can leave the hood and latch in place while you make the modification.
