How well does it work overall?
Thanks for posting!

It works great because it's my OEM latch, and this locking part is a simple slide lever to lock/ unlock so you can open the hood or secure it closed.
Because I cut and welded the locking part to my OG latch I had to do a little fine tuning adjustments to get the lever to lock/ open like using the washers as spacers when I reinstalled my latch, open up the core support underside a little, and do a little filing to the mechanism to work with the 3/16" rod I welded in. Doing this extra work was worth it to retain the original latch with secondary safety catch.
