Head Dinger Latch re location

I have been working on the barracuda so long without the hook in place that when I go to do anything on the running duster I end up braining myself. Since the Duster is a nice original driver I dont want to modify anything, but the barracuda has been modified/no number/hot rod....so Im looking for solutions. Ill pool noodle the duster. (ok that sounded a bit off, but I think im in the safety bubble....ya?)
