Default Hood Latch Fix!

I don't know how many of you have experienced this but, out of the 6 different Cherokees I have owned, 2 of them have had the spot welds fail on the hood latch linkage rods. I repaired them both with 1/8 inch cable clamps.
On the last 2 I've had,I put cable clamps on the linkage before they could fail. Sure beats the hell out of trying to get the hood open when they break.
