Question Are these latches the right dimensions?

So the 2 1/8" for the duck and the 4 1/2" for the front hood?

The smaller one is for the engine lid and the larger one for the front hood. I bought these for my RSR replica. Very nice quality and you can't beat the price (less than a 1/3 of what the speed shops want). They are a bit high on their shipping cost - close to $10 to ship 4). You might want to buy a couple of the smaller ones as spares since the rubber portion can (and does) break after a while.

Here's a hsot of the larger ones on my hood. I haven't gotten around to mounting the ones on the engine lid - holiday vacation project.

Ordered the rear set. I think I will stick with hood pins on the front. Thanks for helping me figure out which ones to order.
