M715 style ( CJ )Hood catches for J -10

[pdspeh]

I have seen M715s with cj style side hood catches(clamps) on them .

I am thinking about putting them on my J-10 as my hood release is about to go south.
and I always liked that style.

which do i buy : the horizotial or vertical pair?
and more importantly how do they fit?

they both look the same to me.

Has anyone outthere done this ?

[pdspeh]

come on not one answer.
no with n M715 has these style hood catches?

What do you think of these?

[Mikel2]

Yes, they have those.

They look cool, but the latch in my 78 Cherokee was more handy...

Your link doesn't work.

I'm putting them on mine for the look and a little extra security. My M715 fenders are already set up for them and all I have to do is drill 2 holes in the hood on each side. No big deal to do.

So which one is the correct pair to buy Vertical or Horizontal?

Horizontal is for the CJ right?
so I want the vertical?

not really sure.

[pdspeh]

try the link again , it should work.

The ones you want have a 90 degree bend in the shaft just above the bottom mount (M715). The ones on my CJ have a straight shaft to the bottom mount.

Do you know where i can pick the 90 degree style
