I always just pull mine off at a show.  I think this would be handy for in the garage, though, when I don't have as much room to set it somewhere...  Well done.

        me too!

I would rather have a hood prop than hold the bonnet or put it on the ground or on a chair.

Yes, Al, I agree with you - as a purist, it does suck.  No worries.

I, however, am not a total purist. I built this Moke to please myself, not to conform to a concours d'elegance specification. My 63 Healey shows I can do that, winning a Gold level award from the Healey Concours Committee. The Moke has many factors that are "standard" as in the way the factory produced it.  A few are different, but all of those are very easily returnable to stock configuration.

I knew there would be quite a few who would not like this "modification", but for me, it's a sort of upgrade and improvement. This car was built up for me to enjoy and I will do that. It is my "perfect" moke, for me.

Best regards,

In all due respect, very nice but as a purist, it sucks-

Part of the pride of Moke ownership is being able to remove the bonnet in one quick "swish" at a car show to reveal the engine bay assuming it is as clean as yours is-

Let the Chinese continue to upgrade the Moke line, quite frankly l love the original classic Mokes-

I would appreciate that.. being an accountant.. I could not make it...  but my mechanic probably could..
I would really appreciate seeing the steps.  thanks!

I can't make one right now for you, Jim, maybe in a few months. I have a bunch of jobs that need to get done first. I can tell you exactly how to make one though, and what you would need to acquire, what you would need to fabricate.

malsal.. yes the chokes have proper prop rods.. but they should at $35 large RETAIL.. later b c

Nice job Peter. I noticed the Chokes come with prop rods.

very cool... at car shows with the Moke.. people like to see under the bonnet..

I can:
 

• - hold bonnet up with one hand
• - fold over microfiber towels and put on top of windshield and put bonnet back.. need the towels because sharp parts of snapping set-up stick out.. would damage bonnet without towels

-put bonnet somewhere else, chair, ground, back seat.. I don't like doing any of those options

would you be willing to sell me one like that if you can make another

Got tired of hitting my head on nothing, padding the windshield from the bonnet, so here it is:

Used a trunk rod form a big Healey, and the top piece on the bonnet also from Healey trunk, then made holders for the hinge part and the retainer, with is the rubber holder from the Moke bonnet, stock.

Like it or not, it is easily removeable and nicer than a wood stick.
