    I just got finished with the paint on my jeep, and am now curious about rear hood catches for it. There are holes (which I believe are factory) for hood catches on the rear of the hood, with matching holes in the body. My jeep is somewhat of a frankenstein, but as far as I can tell is a DJ-3a. It is registered as a 1960.

    Here is a pic that shows the holes:

    Does anyone know where I can purchase these, if this is the case?

    Thanks

    it looks like a windshield hold down latch from a MB/GPW would fit there.

    Does anyone know if these hood catches are standard on the DJ's?

    i asked similar question on 3B page after viewing a number of cj3b photos with extra set of rear hood catches, was told in the day it was a popular "owner" mod to add extra set to stop the hood from rattling ...
