Re: Hood Supports:

I did the installation on my porcelean blue 98 GLX using the pep boys part.
There is no original part # because this is not a factor part.#92516

Regarding the installation of the gas-strut type hood supports.... the
following have been posted as the correct struts:

                                                Pep Boys pro-lifts: part
#92516
                                               Auto Zone mighty-lifts: part
#E95212

I don't have a Pep Boys or Auto Zone within 100 miles of me; so can anyone
who
has done the conversion tell me what the struts were originally for (i.e.
Rear
window struts for a '86 - '89 RX-7) as I might be able to find them at one
of
my local suppliers (Kragen/Chiefs/NAPA/Car Quest etc).

Thanks very much.
