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
