A WEE BIT OF ADVICE...PLS.

[drcrougeux]

Greets. When placing one (1) side of the hood (bonnet) in the up position and resting it on the top of the tool box, it tends to scratch/chip the paint. And, is at high risk to fall and scar the new paint/chrome. What device/gizmo do ya'll use to prevent this accident waiting to happen.... This fall factor is especially risky, when both side are up !!! I saw a pix recently of a block of wood being used, but it only showed a tiny portion of the length. I expect this is a common issue & the many car-showers will offer their favorite trick. Spare me the angst & scars, pls.

I think the "Bonnet Holder by Mark Stolzenburg" looks like an interesting way to go. I think I will make one today. http://www.mg-tabc.org/techn-up/bonnet_holder.htm Terry TC2285

Go to the mg-tabc website and click on the Technology section found on the left hand side of the home page. Once the Technology page opens page down to the Chassis/Body section and click on Bonnet Holder (Mark Stolzenburg). I think you will find what you are looking. BTW, the sites web-masters, Walter and Jim have done a fabulous job putting helpful technical info on the site. I always try to check that first before I start any project on the TC.
