Gas struts holding bonnet?

Thu 29 Oct 2009 12:11:05 AM
I'm interested in seeing if I can make the bonnet hold itself up with some struts, anyone done this and wanna share how?
Anyone have some idea/tips/struts I should use?

A few people on the MSC have done this, iirc they needed to modify the mounting points...though as ive not done this myself i cant go into detail about it. Id suspect virtually any gas strut could be used (providing they have a suitable mounting point), as they all do the same job :)

Just had a look on the MSC and there doesnt seem to be any guides, just a couple of pics in modded micras blog:

That post was found using the search: Bonnet Lifters :)

Yer I've done it. It's a bit of hastle at the bonnet side but other than that easy enough.
