True, true. If that doesn't work a local salvage yard has 84 that has a prop. If you can't find one in parts I can check this one for condition.

Mine was the same way when I bought it, detail guys messed it up and folded it sideways. I ended up drilling out the rivets, straightening each bar, painting it satin black and using flange bolts with nylock nuts. It works great, looks good, and saved me mucho denero.

I got tired of switching sides to open and close the hood.
Converted my 86e over to a late model gas cylinder.
Very happy and much easier to operate
