Hi all, fitted gas struts to the bonnet yesterday - well worth it. Instead of having to weld mounting plates I just riveted into the box section stuff that stiffens the bonnet. Hopefully the rivets will last!

A good job and good for those who don't want to weld
You should post some detailed pics for those that would like to copy

Haha, they sure do. But they don't use bolts for the bottom bracket - drilled the pre-drilled holes a little larger to accept the bolts I had for a little extra strength.Originally posted by Karma Supra View Post

There is useful info on this forum in the meantime. Just remember that if the top and bottom brackets are mounted too close together, (with the bonnet in the closed position), then when you close the bonnet after fitting the struts it'll all rip apart. But if the brackets are a little further apart (5mm or so maybe) then this gives a little room error.
