I havea '72 Scamp with a steel hood and no hood springs . Is there a way to install struts ? what struts ? Where to mount them ? the hood is getting heavy and I'm old . TIA , Tom
thanks , muchly appreciatedI'd be leery of struts myself. Getting them mounted in the right place and the right length to not cause a lot of stresses on mounting points seems like it would be a crapshoot. Like you said, that hood gets heavy. Wouldn't it be easier to just get a set of hinges with the springs?
Just asking, & I know its your car. Just my thought on the matter.
Did they come with mounting brackets? I've been looking and couldn't find a "kit" with all the components. Any thoughts?
