Deck lid Struts!

Wilkinson probably has both flavors. Why not ask him: steve at panterasbywilkinson dot com

Thanks Josh
Emailed Steve and asked him about the rear struts and he said it was no problem provided it was not an Hall Brand rear wing, as they are too heavy! How do I tell what kind of delta wing I have on the back!

Factory wings are made out of aluminum. The wing portion is simply foam encased with aluminum. The side supports are all aluminum. Very light!

Aftermarket wings are fiberglass and can be heavy I suppose. I'm not sure on the Hall wing..

Be careful you don't get a strut that's too strong requiring a fair amount of pressure to close and possibly damaging your rear deck.

What's the history on your car?

Its GT-5 #5159,right hand drive as we do in Australia.
Engine been has been worked on, stroked, new ausssie heads etc.
Interior is in great condition,very original.
Only had it for two weeks,still learning heaps.
Not many people in Sydney with these kind of cars, I only know of one other guy in Sydney and one in Canberrapitt_tech@optusnet.com.au

Pick your favorite vendor - I imagine they all have the same struts. It is worth whatever surcharge they charge as you can effectively bend your rear decklid of you use one that is too strong, and it won't stay up if it isn't strong enough. Make sure to specify that your car has a wing.

If your car does have a heavier-than-stock rear wing, I suppose the worst that can happen is that your decklid won't stay up like it is supposed to! But I don't know how to tell you to tell the difference between a Hall wing and another one - I don't know that there is a visible difference...

Thanks Charlie!
Need one big time, cause I can see the deck lid falling on me, that wouldn't be very pleasent.

If you're in a bind, a broom stick will do the trick!!

Hate to see that deck hitting your head!!

Josh

Very nice...
