Since my Corolla has no bonnet rod to hold bonnet up (feel free to give me one)
was thinking about (for something different) getting some MX83 bonnet Gas Struts, for people that don't know the Cressidas have Gas Struts that hold the bonnet up instead of a metal road as the KE does.
Thinking all you would need to do is weld some metal braces on to screw the struts into.
But the Cressida bonnet is alot lighter than the KE bonnet, so this may cause problems with the struts actually working to hold the bonnet up. (MX73's have gas struts too, might be better than MX83 ones?)
Has anyone done it before?
Theories on it working?
Thanks.
(in before you're an idiot, why don't you just get a rod from the wreckers)
