Yes mate - I was hoping you found a pair hidden in the parts department

One way or another I need to modify the passenger side one to give the carb more clearance

Should have. Will have a look.

I've got a couple hanging in the roof of man land if you need Wal

Cheers Neil - see how Clay goes first

Ive been looking at it each time I go down to "man Land" as you call it and even thinking of doing away with springs altogether and going for a solid pin system even - drill a hole through two parts when bonnet is up and just use a simple pin to hold in place - simple but ultimately effective as I think even moving the springs to the outside way provide issues with the drip channels - I had given an original spring to Wheelan springs to see if they could come up with a smaller diameter -higher spring rate option but the clowns lost it so I'm now down an original spring also - Doh.

Have you thought about Gas struts not real costly and should work ok

As Billy said Wal gas struts may be the way to go contact V6 Conversions they are making them I believe.

Neil

yeah I have seen their hinges and they are good - but you need chop a fair chunk out of the drip channel to fit them
