[DeTomaso] Deck lid Shocks for cars with Wings

Mon Mar 5 11:24:56 EST 2018

Seems I remember that some time ago there was an outfit that rebuilt the
original decklid shocks. Anybody recall who it was? That would be great for
people who want to keep the stock look.

     In my opinion the stock decklid shocks are mounted too close to the
     pivot point and using an incorrect strength shock reacts with too
     much pressure on the decklid when closed and can result in a warped
     decklid. I have seen at least half a dozen Pantera's with poor shut
     lines at the upper (hinge) end of the decklid due to incorrect shock
     use. I know it's obvious to most that gas shocks are gas filled, but
     Boyle's law still applies to gas in a confined volume so they will
     exhibit more pressure with higher temperature. The originals have
     that barely stays open in cold weather syndrome for a reason!
     I thoroughly recommend the IPSCO decklid relocation kit that moves
     the pivot point.
