GAS STRUT BONNET CONVERSION

SWITCHBLADE · 16-02-2008, 10:19 PM

hi there,

i was just after some advice from people who have replaced there bonnet stay with a pair of gas struts to hold the bonnet up.

i was wondering which gas struts are mainly used and also if measurements can be given, including pictures, for where the struts are mounted etc.

thanks in advance

dave.

orion boot strut's work spot on but you'll struggle to find a good pair now.

The bonnet strut from a mk1 leon is very strong would think it would work perfectly. Prob the same as an audi one.
