Hood latch - old problem - new to me

[SmilingSimon]

One way is to fiberglass a raised area to use concealed bolt/nut, use a cardboard/paper box to create an area to put FG on then drill hole and use bolt/nut.

Personally i would not want to put visible screw on front in hood - just a cosmetic thing.

I assume that some RV parks demand a certain amount of cosmetic beauty so keeping it pretty has functional reasons too !

SmilingSimon = agreed but not very noticeable - you'd be hard-pressed to see the fix most folks do and IF you make it symmetrical it looks good.

I doubt you could see it from 6 feet away quite honestly - bug splatter can be bigger
