A place to ask all your questions about Hus Skis or just a great place to spread a little of that Yellow Pride.

444 Restoration question

Can anyone post a very detailed photo of an original 444 hood latch? I need help with my restoration and in duplicating this part. I would appreciate it very much
Thanks

The 444 used a Model A Ford 1930-1931 2 Hole style Hood latch. Its available at lots of good model A parts places in the states. The link below is for one called (Snyders Antique Auto) I like this one in the states.
They have them in steel or stainless steel. My passion is stainless. http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/3116

If you are in Canada like me (The Old Car Center) will be able to supply you with them under the same part number as Snyders.

Hope this helps!

Or do you need a photo of the part on the hood that the latch hooks to?

I also have a buch of these hood latches. I get them from SPAENAUR who was the original supplier to HUS-SKI ltd back in the 60's.
