Hi,
I know it's sold to Rick but what is it?
Can you use one on a tourer?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

It's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B8DAK-2pIE

Only for saloons. These were made by a member on here years ago. Some had issues with them causing the hinges for the bootlid to bend but have had a set on my dads 75 and my typhoon for years without issues so thought I'd get a set for redfive.

Cheers Rick....I have a set on the Tahiti blue. ( No issues I think).
Keep my eye out for a set for the Dorchester Red.

Hope you are safe and well.

Paul

No issues on the 3 cars I’ve had this mod fitted to.

Great tip & mod!

Would somebody give a precise listing of the items needed?
Mainly the metal spacer (diameter, length) and the exact type of spring (diameter, length, strength), a link would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
