I have two hoods for my SPF and when swapping them recently I had a metal on metal grind situation with the passenger side lock. After trying a variety of fixes I ended up filing down the length of the metal plate that is attached to the firewall. It took about 20-30 minutes to get it straight and I only had to grind off a few milimeters to permit the hood to open and close without the awful scraping. The lever on the hood lock is very long so this minor modification won't have a negative impact on the car. good luck.
