Just out of interest, the Convertible boot hindges (and I assume struts) are from a Ford Streetcar.

Just wanted to ask regarding the strut.
As mentioned on that other thread, mine isn't realy strong enough.
But when I close the boot, the right side is held up and slghtly out of flush with the wing panel due to the strut force. Is there any adjustment in the hinge to reduce this lifting affect as it realy spoils the lines.

I'm suprised the Targa has only one strut compared to the vert which has two, The hinge has the nipple for a 2nd strut, when I first saw it on a friends Targa I thought they had forgot to fit the 2nd strut.
