Is a maverick hood latch the same as a comet hood latch??

I have a few questions and since i'm a Comet Man , i'm not sure about some of the parts that will or will not interchange. Are the hood latches the same between a maverick and a comet. Also, the grill mount, where the hood latch catches, are they the same? Last question (for now) are the skinny bumper mounts (early bumpers) the same? Thanks for any help on this!!

 

hood latch is diff
the brackets are the same but there is an additional bracket
on each side
the other thing you asked about is the same for both
but changed after 72 (big bumper )

I think the difference in the latch is the length of the release lever.

 

Thanks guys, i'm switching to a maverick hood/grill/bumper and was just wondering if I need to switch the hood latch or any of the other stuff....i'm assuming that the hinges are the same.

 

do you have big bumpers on it now ??

 

You are slipping to the dark side. Feel the force and resist

 

No, it's a small bumper car.

 

I know, I know....but the parts selection is so limited for comet front ends that it was kind of inevitable on my car....anyway, I like the looks of the maverick front end better and I like the looks of the Comet back end better so i'll have the best of both worlds!!

 

Cross dresser!

 

But your Comet GT is one of the badest 71-77's Comets either side of the Mississippi. UNIQUE!

 

Trust me......it will still be UNIQUE!!

 

man, im doing the same thing. i have a 73 comet gt and the front hood was busted. so bought a maverick hood and grill and now im gonna do a bumper tuck. all im looking for now is a lower signal light set.

what rear light options do we have for the comets?
