Hood Struts

I am putting a fiberglass hood on and I am looking for hood struts that use less pressure, around 23 pounds. Any one know where I can buy them

Re: Hood Struts

From what I have read alot of people use old struts off metals hoods that won't hold anymore. If you still have your old set I would try them first before buying new ones.
