taimar boot lid

[whitewolf]

Since fitting the boot lid two years ago without the gas struts, the lid has gone back to a better shape following the body contours.

My guess is (also I think I heard this at the pre 80's) that the struts push the sides out.

Any pics, lengths or details of a stiffening bar/threaded bar to counter the forces pushing the boot lid outwards?
Thanks in advance, mick.

I am sure I heard someone at the pre 80's talking about a "Mike Bigland mod" that sounds just like this?

I have a piece of 6mm threaded stainless rod in tension between the two brackets for a couple of years and this has corrected the splay out.
