    Hi gents...
    I got tired of using the "broom stick" hood prop so I decided to bite the bullet and install the stock prop...well after looking at the attachment points I said what really really bad engineering. Something I almost never say about Henry stuff. Things I considered:
    • Stock hood prop beefed up on hood side
    • Two hood props one on each side with a CrMoly crossover
    • Something on the engine that would fold up when not in use
    • New broomstick!
    Well I took a piece of aluminum (actually a Hemi main cap) and started to whittle. Ended up with a very serviceable piece that doesn't modify the original "stuff" See attached. g
