Cheers for the pics and info Bonno and Paul. Definitely necessary i'd say. If the release handle shears or the bolt on the cable clamp loosens it would be a shocking time to get to the latch pivots with enough leverage.

My 1/69 car has the single catch in the middle. Not sure then they changed to (from) a double catch? However the idea of fitting an emergency release cable is a very good one.  I just installed one on the rear boot lid and will do on for the front hood too.
Thanks Merv
