Gas Hood Lifters Fitted, Ebay - Sokie Tech Options

[petna]

Well the gas bonnet lifters went in this afternoon. Took about 20 mins because I needed to fiddle with a washer or 2 to get the fit right. I've created a wiki guide on CCUK for the fitting Wiki Entry

They seem to work well. Worth £40 IMO

Here are some pics

its just where the bolt is at, the struts are very strong, this means a little bolt won't be able to hold this bracket in place, the bracket is in the mercy of the stronger strut.

If you're talking about the bracket attached to the hood, I angled it towards the windshield and gunned it tight. You will have to experiment with it to see how it closes and not rub on the fender liner. Otherwise another wise, but long solution would be to file the rough edge round.
