Nearly all Lotus owners used to be very familiar with the shortened broom stick
which was always carried so it could prop up the hood (bonnet) or deck (boot)
lid, as required. This accesssory was always considered so necessary by Lotus
people I knew that it became known forever as Lotus Tool #1.
I wonder if this characterization is known outside of southern California and
Utah (because that's where some of the old [but not as old as yers-trooly] Lotus
West regulars escaped to).

Subject: Esprit Hatch Shocks???

Ok, I am NOT paying Bean's price (and they are the cheapest) for new rear
hatch struts for my Esprit at $110 each. I tried "Mighty Lifts" generic
brand lifts, part number D95112 ($13.50 each) which don't have the UMPH to
hold the hatch up. Does anyone have an economical solution to this? Maybe I
tried the wrong part number from Mighty Lifts?? PLEASE HELP. I have a car
show this weekend, and the broom stick just isn't very attractive.
