Hi,
I have made a very short run of the catch that holds the engine hatch cover open.
These are an exact copy of the original right down to the brass privot washer and rivit.
Price is $85.00US ea + postage.
Please drop me a line if you would like one.
Best regards
Richard

Rchard,
We were wondering what held the lid up! Sign me up for one. You'll let me know where it attaches, if it isn't obvious. Thanks,
David Olasov

Hi David,
I will put one aside for you.
It attaches to the left hand side (under side of the engine hatch cover.
About 8" back from the hinge. There should be a small bracket there.
The other end attaches to the air duct panel. Similar bracket is spot welded there.
Best regards
Richard
PS I will work out the postage Monday and drop you a line.

Richard,
That must be one of those right hand drive GPA's ;) The engine support goes on the right side of the engine compartment as sitting in it ;) Pretty far forward near the radiator.
Cheers,
Tony
