I just bought a after market one too and mine came with a steel plate screwed on where it would latch but it seemed like it wasn't far down enough. I stuck 7/16 inch thick nuts between the hood and the steel bracket and I was able to get it to latch. I would've spent more time on it if I wasn't going with the pin down look.
