Here is a pic of the hood latch I was talking about. (Thanks Charlie!)

And a pic of the wide frame hood latch: (Thanks again Charlie!)

The latch in the top photo was when the 1x4/5 and 1x6/7 series were made.

I don't have any photos of the 71, 102, 122 (aka 1x2/3) hood latch. In fact I have never seen one and would like to see one myself. The 72, 104, 105, 124, 125 series (aka 1x4/5) had latches like this on each side of the battery box that hooked onto a tab on the hood.

Kraig,
That is it in action.
I am scratching my head. I have not seen one either. My 122 just has the rollers that fit in the groove on the bottom of the hood like the 70/100 series.

Here's a photo of a 149 dash. Note the hood latches.

So here is the hood bracket and the other bracket under the battery tray on my 122. These are the items in question and they were a factory added item.

That looks like a wiring harness clamp that has been bent upwards.

Regarding the 122 hood latch, all I can think of is there must have been some sort of spring that hooked between the holes in the hood brace that was pulled down and under that hook on the battery box.

Nope, not a bent wire clamp/clip, if you look at this photo from the brochure, you can see it.

Looked at the service manual, and it shows the clip. Not sure what it's for, it's just sticking out.
It is not shown in the operator's manual.
