Default Secondary/Safety hood latch

My mustang has a Cervinis ram air hood on it and when I bought the car it was already on it. It has the regular hood latch and hood pins, but I ordered the secondary/safety latch for it cause its not on it. Where does it go??? anyone with a foxbody, if you could take a pic of under your hood so I can see where it goes this would be extremely helpful...Thanks

You should send a link for this to Stephen. =]
Any reason for needing the second latch with the hood pins?

haha! not really...just want it on for an extra precaution, like you could forget to put your hood pins in and hit the freeway and bam! Anyway alot of stories have been going around about people aftermarket hoods coming up and I don't want to be one of them. I'm saving for wheels not for body damage. lol

i have hood pins (on my racecar), but we use four, two front and two back. but we take off our whole hood to look at the engine. and it is kinda freaky when part of your hood raises up because you forgot the pin... extra protection is not a bad idea

Some douche was just making crappy posts like 'buy a Ferrari' and stuff like that. Red banned him, and either him or Spike probably deleted his posts. Nothing too bad, just a nuisance.
