RE: [DML] Engine Compartment Cover Latch



Hi Paul, 

We sell the striker #100597G with an oversize 5mm threaded insert that
installs using a 5/16 drill bit and some epoxy to secure it. Installation is
simple and it's very strong. I suppose we could just send you the insert
since you already have the striker. Let me know if we can assist you.

Subject: [DML] Engine Compartment Cover Latch

I have about four repair issues going on at once, but here's another 
one.  When I bought my car, there was no catch on the engine 
compartment cover (the little triangular loop on the underside). I 
ordered the piece, which is threaded, but there is nothing to attach 
the threads to on the underside of the cover. There is a hole 
underneath that does not go all the way through, nor is there any type 
of imbedded nut to grab onto.  I tried drilling the hole all the way 
through, and using a nut and washer on the top side, but this places 
the latch piece too high to grab the locking mechanism below.  What am 
I missing here?  The parts catalog show this in the diagram with a 
number 50 callout number, but then it's not listed in the parts list, 
which stops at 49.  The exploded parts view shows what looks like a 
nut that this attaches to, but the part I ordered did not come with a 
nut.  Do I have to glue a nut inside the hole. 

Thanks for any help,

Paul
