:roll: The rod is one of those ultra rare NASCO Bonnet Holderupperers that were sold in the NASCO spare parts dealerships as a support measure for sagging bonnet hinge springs.

If you look closely in my avartarry thingo picture at left you'll see a wooden one I had at the Yamba '08 Nationals.

Co-incidentally it looks near exactly like a cut off broom handle :shock: :shock: :shock: :wink: :wink: :wink:
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

arty FB mad is exactly right, but mine is the up market bonnet holderupperer note the chrome. Rule 1 DONT get your springs chromed when you chrome the hinges as the tensile vanishes hence the NASCO bonnetholderupperer (a very rare nasco product) :oops:

This was my EK in the beggining and the main reason why I changed the colour[

I then changed the colour to Hennortt red and did some rust replacementin the front sill caused by the sun visor ends letting water in.

The only reason for time is so everything dosen't happen at once.

I get board easily so I took the hub caps off and put HR cappers (small grease cap covers)and chrome nuts to show off the chromies
