Gas Struts For Bonnets

[Roy]

Yeh im too lazy, and too poor to afford that sort of money fo rwhat i thought would be a nice touch...i lashed out on snazzy bonnet pins, thats enough for me

[MANWHORE]

I am seriously really interested in doin gthis mod, but i have no idea where to start.

There does not seem to be that much room in the engine bay to mount the things. Where do we put the brackets etc?

[Goon]

My beemer has them. its a huge convience beaing able to work on the engine without having to worry about bumping the supporting rod.

Just a thought - What if theres a fire in the engine bay and you need to put it out urgently, it would be easier to pop the bonnet open straight away rather than to fiddle around for the stick, wasting precious time till your precious RB gets burnt

hmmm from what i've seen these kits bolt into on of the side guard bolt holes... then attach under the hinge bolts onto the bonnet. not sure if our cars would have enough room for the strut to fold in between it.

wouldn't mind doing it, shouldn't hard.. just gotta have the right fitting on the end.

Check these links. Seems to be a straight bolt on. I'm up for buying these at around $200. but Nengun does not have them.

If people wanna buy these, maybe we could but them together to save on postage?

toyota camry has them (1997-2001). im sure the wreckers will be able to supply them at a reasonable price.

i would really like to do this too. Wouldn't know where to start either though. Can someone please do it and put up a diy. $400 is a bit much for a bolt on kit really good idea though should have some out standard like that.

as you can see i am lazy i don't wont to figure out how to do it nor do i want to put my bonnet stay up all the time. hehehe
