Self-Triggering Prop Installation Instructions
For MGB Trunk Lid or Hood and MG Midget Trunk Lid
Note: these props replace factory-original telescoping props on MGs (approx. 1971 - 1980).
They will not replace the manual props found on earlier vehicles.
1. Remove the old prop. Save the nuts and bolts. (Nuts should be locknuts).
2. Orient the self-triggering prop so that the wide channel attaches to the car body, and the
narrow channel attaches to the trunk lid (or hood, if you are installing the hood prop). Make
sure you orient each bolt as shown in the sketch. (If this is not done, the prop will not have
enough clearance to collapse and you might damage your trunk lid or your hood!). Close your
trunk lid or hood slowly to make sure everything operates smoothly.
Note: safety pin holes are provided on these props. When in the open/latched position, a safety
pin may be inserted through the inner and outer channels to prevent inadvertent unlatching of the
prop (use this in windy weather!).

Robert, these are sliding crop squares to help me or you
to crop in the frame of the art.
Problems?
Note how the bolt head must sit in the recess to avoid interference with the striker.
If your hood will not close, and it appears the prop is hitting the radiator shroud,
this is the true problem.
You may grind the bold head down for extra clearance, if desired.
Note: MGB hood bracket may be bent inward,
or removed and reversed for added clearance.
Hood Prop may be located on either side of the engine compartment, depending on model year.
Installation is the same on either side.
Note: safety pin holes are provided on these props.
When in the open/latched position, a safety pin may
be inserted through the inner and outer channels to
prevent inadvertent unlatching of the prop (use this
in windy weather!).
