So it is time once again to go parts hunting 
I am looking for a replacement for the gas struts that hold up the bonnet.
I also need one of the locking mechanisms for the bonnet.
Someone had posted earlier about replacing their R-12 in the AC systems. I am using Freeze-12 for the past 3 seasons and it seems to be doing just fin. One can purchase it on eBay. |

More information. The Gas Struts were made by Industrial Gas Springs. They are a custom made part for the Lagonda and the cost from the manufacturer is $237 each.
I found something close and made it fit . |

Yes Bill, I'd appreciate whatever you've got. The locking mechanism is from the passenger side (LHD).
Thanks as always. |
