Engine Lid Latch

IaM-Ray

I was just looking at my engine lid latch and when the engine is hot it seems that cable for some reason opens the lid but by the time I get to the back the latch is locked again. Once the engine is cold it works fine. So it is either a two man job or something else.

Now I saw somewhere that there is a new latch available with a spring release but I was wondering if anyone had any other work arounds. Essentially the new style has a plate attached to one side of the upper hole you see and a spring attached pops up once the main latch is released and prevents the latch from re-engaging.

I think Bruce @aircooled could make one easily .
