Boot Spring - Drivers side

[Splod]

Hi
I'm after a driver's side boot spring
Mine has shattered into three pieces whilst sitting quietly in the shed by itself
Only noticed when I opened the boot and it wouldn't stay up
Hoping someone can help as I find it hard holding the boot lid with one hand whilst trying to load the esky with the other
Cheers
Joe

I read recently on the FE-FC Enthusiast Facebook page that a HQ window regulator spring is a suitable replacement, if you can't find an original one. Haven't tried it, but I daresay they're pretty easy to find. An image search shows a spring that looks similar (although the outer hook looks quite long - perhaps that doesn't matter once it's tensioned?)

Anyway, that's free advice, worth at least what you paid for it :)

If you're after an adjustable boot pin kit, PM me, I have some at the moment.

cheers

I have a couple of FC boot springs for sale. $25 each plus postage.

Thanks for the advice RET - good to know!
I have already bought the adjustable boot pins (from you most probably) a couple of years ago on this forum.
