'35 hood latch challenge - request input

[rich b]

The radiator brackets on my aftermarket radiator (brass US Radiator) were too low; I cut them off at the 90 degree bend, added another flange to the cut off piece and after figuring out the correct location, drilled a couple holes and bolted them to remainder of the bracket on the radiator.



On my '35 the front hole in the fender panel bolts to the grille while the second hole bolts to the relocated hood catch bracket.

While not the best the picture the bracket shows how the bracket is now a separate piece and is now bolted to radiator
