Default Issue with hood prop rod falling out in windy conditions
hello, fellow cobra owners!
I have had my hood nearly slam closed during a car show on windy days on two occasions.
I was there both times, and caught it, but when open it is nearly 90 degrees and it would surely be a disaster if it fell.
I have devised a part which I keep in my glove box which blocks the slot in the SS bracket.
I would think that this would fit any ERA car, 289, or 427 models.
I just don't know how often this happens to people.
I could use feedback.
The part is aluminum and I made it in two halves on an EDM machine.


Thanks

Don
