Part that bonnet support rod swivells on

[angelo_f]

Greetings

I have a GQ SWB and the little round part that the bonnet support rod swivels around in is broken (I have attached an image). It is the part at the top of the engine bay that makes it easy to swivel the rod up and down when you need to hold bonnet open, or to close bonnet.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement or what I could use in its place.

Thanks

Cant tack weld some washers to the area to beef it up,
hope thats what you mean

Yeah I lost mine about 12 months ago damn it. I have just figured out how to use it without it.

If you know where to get it and what it actually looks like that'd be great

Try the wreckers, or go a gas strut kit..

Stop opening your bonnet so much and it wont wear out as fast.
must be a GQ thing lol

The poor thing is 25 years old. Some things will wear.
