Lift Lock for Tail Gates

Lift Lock

Came across this in an Auto Shop and I think it will make a good fix for the hood struts, they sell it for Hatches and Tailgates .

It attaches to the strut shaft and when you open the hood the brace springs under the strut and holds it. Its rated to hold 350 lbs so should manage the weight of the hood. Anyway if one doesn't seem to work, simply attach another one to the other strut

It's made by a company in Florida called Pylon Manufacturing Corporation, I did a search but couldn't load the site, dial up sucks at the moment. Their catalogue number on the slip is No. 8200.

I might even try one of these myself, cost in Aus is $22.00, cheaper than $90 + plus for one new strut from Subaru.
