harwood cowl hood GAS STRUTS
is there a different hood strut to put on fiberglass hoods,
seems like the one for metal hoods are too strong for the fiberglass ones, tooo much stress on the hinges

Try doing a search. This topic has come up many times in the past. I know there is one thread in particlar where we have places to get them and even part numbers. Good luck.

this may sound gay, but i run a new strut, and an old strut.
you have to be "just right" when lifting the hood, but it holds my ss hood just fine.
