APPERFiT Bonnet Latch Strap & Catch Bracket Kit — 2-Pack for Kenworth & Peterbilt, OEM Fit, Rubber Straps with Hardware

APPERFiT Hood Latch Strap & Catch Bracket Kit is a two-piece replacement assembly that secures the front engine hood on compatible Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks.

Over time the original rubber hood latch straps and catch brackets can crack, stretch or break, leaving the hood unsecured. This APPERFiT repair kit provides a direct-fit replacement for common OEM numbers (for example 23-13857, L56-0001, HLK1035) and includes the straps, hooks, brackets and fasteners needed to restore proper hood retention on both driver and passenger sides.

How does this kit match my original OEM parts?

The APPERFiT kit is manufactured to replicate OEM dimensions and mounting points so it installs where the factory assembly did. Components are shaped to align with the hood and chassis latching locations used on Kenworth and Peterbilt models listed in the fitment.

• Direct replacements for OEM part numbers including 23-13857 and HLK1035
• Bracket and hook geometry matches factory holes and bolt pattern
• Supplied bolts and nuts for straightforward installation

Will these parts withstand heavy-duty truck use?

These straps are made from durable rubber designed to resist daily wear, UV exposure, and flexing that occurs with hood movement. While rubber components naturally age over many years, the kit is built to hold up under typical trucking conditions and highway vibration.

• High-quality rubber straps that resist cracking and deformation
• Powder-coated or black-finished hardware to reduce corrosion
• Intended for repeated open/close cycles common to service and transport
