Hood latches/lock differences

Dumb question. Are the hood latches/locks different from a Jubilee/NAA/600 versus a 601?

I need a set for my 641 and found some from a Jubilee. The 641 tin I am planning to use does not have anything, so I don't know if there are any subtle differences that will bite me if I snag the early latches.

Just starting to get educated on all the sheetmetal nuances between '53 through '64.

Thanks!

The hinges themselves will interchange. 1953 thru 1964.The problem comes when one mixes gas tanks and hoods.

Thanks Wayne.

I've been learning all too well about hoods and gas tank mixing. That said, I have extra hoods and gas tanks lying around now. :oops:

Figured I'd better ask before buying latches.

I will suggest that before you leave it running with the hood open and fresh paint, make sure that the hinges hold the center section away from the side section.
 
The hinges on an 800-801 hood are farther apart from each other to accomodate the hump in the top of the gas tank.

Yep, that's one thing I've found out already. :D

Just picked up the ones I found. Now to get back to fixing up that hood. Hammers/blocks/cutting/welding night tonight.

Thanks!

When you get the hood to its final adjustment, a short piece of tiny link chain bolted in there will keep that hood from ever hitting.
Like a door catch on a screen door.

Remember after I painted one, being oh so careful the first fill-up days later.
grabbed the clean shop rag out of my pocket and laid it there for backup.
yep, paint wasn't fully cured and I got a faint imprint of the rags nubbies. Looks like orange peel and no one has ever noticed it, but [b:4a1439d0f0]I[/b:4a1439d0f0] see it every time I climb on.LOL
Thankfully, my tractors are so dirty after they go back to work....I can't see it anymore...

What I did with mine to insure that it doesn't rub on the paint is to slip a piece of rubber tubing over the hinge at the point that it is supposed to contact the underside of the hood.
