About this part
Do you have a device like shown in the last picture to "lock" your hood open while working under it, for your C3 Corvette?
If so, where do you store the hood lock when the hood is down?????? Well, here's an answer.
One type, labelled Clip at the end, clips over the outer part of the arm as shown.
One, labelled Stick On at the end, can be attached to the flat surface of your choosing with double sided tape, glue, or hook-and-loop fastener.
NOTE: My engine bay stays rather cool (long story), so I used PLA and it's worked well so far. I used red because my 1970 is Monza Red. BUT YOU SHOULD USE A HIGH-TEMP TOLERANT FILAMENT!
As always, all my designs are free to use. No need to tip me. Just don't use my design to make any kind of profit.
Comments, makes, improvements, criticism all welcome!
