Attach to the hood for the hood latches

Uh, on the hood, that is the part the hood latch catches on to hold it closed

DUH! No wonder i could not find a place misssing or where they went. I had bought new latches and they came with new catches and the painter installed them so I could close the hood when returning home after painting the Jeep. No wonder I couldnt find something missing. I will go back to sleep now, thanks once again for helping an old man
