small diameter pvc pipe, cut to length, and cut a slot lengthwise. Use it as a spacer when the hood is up.

Actually, I have done that exact thing I suggested with it in place. Cobalt bits help. A lot. I since went with a brace like the hoods on NASCAR cars where it locks over center. Don't have ot mess with a pin then.

Doesn't ship to US. Would need to get one of our Aussie friends to receive and ship to you.

I contacted him a while back. As you said, doesn't ship to the US and when you figure the exchange rate, the price is way out of line. Thanks for looking around for me. I am hoping there is one sitting on a shelf somewhere.

refresh an old request.

I appreciate all the suggestions but, I really would like to find the Lift Lock system. If you see one let me know. Thanks
