You must mean the ingenious lift-off hood anti-sag device...O the chit we did as kids.
Mannnny yrs ago when I put on that hood, I too lived in the Hood and was convinced that someone would steal it or worse yet get in there and F with my engine were it not secured which is why I didn't go the Dzus route,so I pinned it and had these (still have) little tiny padlocks that went on the four corners...True Story and funny that you were the 1st to mention it.
