Aussie VC 67 Dodge ute
Some more shots of the hard cover to come after the weekend...here's what I've been upto with the hood...this is temporary as this hood is to be replaced
a piece of 2mm plate was welded over the old top spring hole
the plate was plug welded from the out side
I used a pair of 530mm gas struts of 400N force....they work well and hold the bonnet up from about 80% open...maybe 450 to 500N would be a little better if anybody else wants to do this!
