The Altman Easy Hood Latch is a vehicle-specific, bolt-on hood latching system designed to replace the factory hood latch with a modern rotary claw mechanism.

This system is engineered as a direct upgrade for the original 1967-72 Ford hood latch, eliminating the bulky and outdated factory design while improving both function and appearance. By adapting the proven Altman Easy Latch technology to the hood, this kit lets your hood close smoothly, securely, and consistently without slamming.
