The hood lock with hook 5 is installed in the front part of the hood, preventing the hood from opening spontaneously. The hook is pressed by spring 9.

The handle is connected by a rod in a casing 19 to spring 21, which fixes the hood by pin 3 in the closed position. The pin is screwed into the hood and secured with a lock nut. By changing the position of the pin, the position of the hood is adjusted in relation to the front surfaces of the front fenders and the radiator grille. Cups 4 and 11 with spring 12 between them are installed on the pin. In the open position, the hood is held by a metal stop 6. The ends of the stops are installed in plastic bushings 1.
