Good to know, I didnt know that latch plate could move.
.
I got the center pin/spring/lock to adjust well by loosening the two bolts in the center, then with the spring detached, and the bonnet closed and locked, I adjusted the plate to center. Then retightened the bolts, then reattached the spring.
Now the only problem I have is that the emergency catch on the side often comes down right on the edge of the little "ramp" it strikes, so it still does not always smoothly close.
Anyone have an idea on how to adjust just that part from this point?
You mean the catch sits too close to the front of the vehicle? I just bent mine by hand a bit, it's pretty flexible.
No, it is misaligned left to right.

I'll have to take a look at doing it like that. I assume you are meaning the actual hook as it is attached to the hood? Or are you talking about the ramp down next to the radiator?
