Hood Latch Bushings: MK1 & MK2
This is the little plastic bushing that sits at the bottom of the spring on the top hood latch lock mechanism for an Mk1 or MK2 VW
It is officially called the Flap Lock in the parts manuals.
If it breaks, your hood latch will not catch entirely and your hood will not be locked in place.
This little bushing has no part number, it is not sold separately, you'd normally have to buy the entire latch.
Print with PETG or other hard plastic that doesn't warp or shrink. Use high in-fill for strength.
