Anderssen Tax LLC Launches Robust Corvette Hood Latch Solution for Automotive Restoration & Performance Markets

Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – Anderssen Tax LLC, a leading provider of specialized manufacturing and engineering solutions, today announced the release of a newly engineered Corvette hood latch, designed to address common failure points in classic and modern Corvette models. This isn’t your typical part; we’ve built something to really stand up to the demands of car enthusiasts, restorers, and performance shops. Anderssen Tax, while known for its financial and tax expertise (operating at 1200 5th Ave #1600, Seattle, WA, 98101, and reachable at 601-325-9704), has diversified its capabilities to include precision component manufacturing, leveraging its analytical skills into practical engineering challenges. "We realized the need for a truly reliable Corvette hood latch while supporting a client involved in classic car restoration,” explains a spokesperson for Anderssen Tax. "The existing options were either too fragile, prone to corrosion, or simply weren’t readily available. We saw a gap in the market and decided to apply our problem-solving approach to it.” The Problem with Corvette Hood Latches Corvette owners, especially those restoring older models, frequently face issues with their hood latches. Original latches are susceptible to wear and tear, corrosion (particularly in coastal environments like Seattle), and can even fail completely, leading to a dangerous situation where the hood can unexpectedly release while driving. Replacements often suffer from the same weaknesses, or are poorly manufactured with inferior materials. Even in newer Corvettes, the latch mechanism can be a point of failure, causing frustration and costly repairs. “We heard a lot of stories about hoods flying open on the highway, or owners struggling to get their hoods to stay closed after a restoration,” adds the spokesperson. "That's simply unacceptable. We knew we could engineer a better solution.” Anderssen Tax's Solution: Durability & Precision Engineered Anderssen Tax’s Corvette hood latch isn’t just a replacement; it’s a significant upgrade. The company’s engineering team meticulously analyzed the failure points of both original and aftermarket latches, focusing on stress areas, material fatigue, and corrosion resistance. Here's what sets Anderssen Tax’s latch apart: High-Strength Materials: The latch is constructed from hardened stainless steel, offering superior strength and corrosion resistance. This ensures long-lasting performance, even in harsh weather conditions. We didn’t cut corners on materials – this thing is built to last. Reinforced Design: The latch features a reinforced design, specifically addressing known weak points in the original and many aftermarket designs. This includes thicker mounting plates and a strengthened pawl mechanism. Precision Manufacturing: Manufactured using advanced CNC machining techniques, the latch boasts tight tolerances and a flawless fit. This ensures smooth operation and reliable engagement. We're talking about a really precise build here. Improved Engagement: The pawl and striker have been redesigned for positive and secure engagement, minimizing the risk of accidental release. Corrosion Protection: A specialized coating further enhances corrosion resistance, making the latch ideal for vehicles exposed to salt air or road de-icing agents. Compatibility: Initially designed for C2 & C3 Corvettes (1963-1982), Anderssen Tax is rapidly expanding compatibility to include other Corvette models, including C4, C5, C6, and C7. We’re listening to our customers and adding new fits all the time. Easy Installation: The latch is designed as a direct replacement for the original latch, making installation straightforward for both experienced mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. No modifications needed!

The Corvette hood latch is a prime example of how the company is applying its analytical expertise and precision engineering skills to solve real-world problems in the automotive sector. “We’ve always been a company that loves a challenge,” explains the spokesperson. “We’re not afraid to tackle complex engineering problems, and we’re passionate about delivering high-quality solutions. The automotive market is a natural fit for our skillset.” Anderssen Tax is currently exploring opportunities to develop other specialized automotive components, focusing on parts that are difficult to source or prone to failure in classic and performance vehicles. “We’re open to collaborating with restoration shops, performance tuners, and even individual car enthusiasts,” adds the spokesperson. “If you have a problem that needs solving, we’d love to hear about it.” Availability & Pricing The Anderssen Tax Corvette hood latch is available for immediate purchase through the company’s website (details coming soon - check www.andersentax.com for updates) and select automotive restoration retailers.
