Thank you. (Also thanks to S. Sherman for his response.)
I'm guessing that the struts you replaced were not on a 512TR. But in any case, I just took a closer look at my car, and the struts I bought, and I remain completely confused by the disparity in hardware. The struts I bought (like the ones pictured in the link I sent, which I guess are what most hood struts look like), which are supposed to work on my car according to the vendor, don't even remotely resemble the supports purchased for my car's hood. On each side of my hood there are two supporting members, each of which has a rectangular cross section -- no cylinder, at least on the portions (6 inches or so) that are visible. Could any 512TR owners (Clyde, SJ, ??) take a look at their [front] hood struts and tell me if they're as I described, rather than as pictured?

I had to slightly enlarge those on the replacements I bought. Have a pair of heavy duty long nose (needle nose) pliers handy to remove and replace the cotter pins. I went in through the battery box on the passenger side and found that replacing only that side was sufficient. On 3/30/2013 1:26 PM, Larry Bard wrote:
