Subject: Hood Prop
Hello,
My hood prop is shot. Look in Vic Brit catalog...$40 !!! I don't think
so.
I will look for a used one but...has anyone thought of using one of those
pneumatic (sp) props they are putting in everything these days (hatchbacks,
mini-van hatches, trunk lifts, etc) on the Spitfire hood. (bonnet)?
It seems like this could be a way to get around lifting-at-the-latches
method that rips the fenders to he$^. No?
Anyone?
-John
