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

You ever tried drilling a hardened shaft? I can be done without too much drama but by the time he R and R'd the shocks for drilling in a press, he could simply replace.
He says he's not going there. I understand. I have a Jag XJ6 with a bad gas lift. I even have the new one in the trunk. To replace I have to remove the back seat back and the package tray. That job is not my biggest priority or thrill. |

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.

How badly do you want it?
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

I use a 1/2 pvc pipe with a slot in it on my truck.
