I wanted to preserve the original bonnet lift springs on my GT conversion to keep things neat and tidy and not have to mess about with a fiddly bonnet prop . After much trial and error I have sourced a alternative spring that does the job perfectly for a GT style fibreglass front hood that weights around 1/2 of of the original metal hood. Slightly heavier bonnets up to about 9kg can be catered for by using the adjustable spring position on the inner arch.
The spring length and spring weight have been selected to give a lovely smooth action from open to closed for a GT hood. These springs are only 275g each so don't worry about the weight and they can very easily be fitted by hand. They are galvanised so no worry about rusting.
£15 for a pair of springs + £3.50 postage
