Listers, I indeed did the same as Craig ... as they say, "works good, last
longtime".

Subject: [Mg-t] Hood Props
About 15 years ago I saw the perfect hood prop, and made one for myself.
Take one of those brown rubber, sort of triangular door propper-openers,
you
know, the kind you slide under a door to keep it open. Then cut a "V"
around
the middle of the top. Not too deep, a third of an inch is fine. Put it
on
the top of the tool kit and put the edge of the hood (bonnet) into it. It
won't slide, because it's rubber. The bonnet won't come out because of the
"V"
you cut into it. In all, I think I paid $.79 for each of two (one for each
side). Today, plan to spend $1.79 each. Four under four bucks, you can't
go
wrong. I have used mine for about fifteen years, and they show no sign of
wear. My grandkids will probably still be using them well into the second
half of the 2ist century.
