FHC bootlid gas struts

[Victor1275]

hi all,

How many newtonmeter of force do the glass bootlid gas struts need to be.
the ones that where in had a force of 100N, so i ordered 2 new ones of 100N, but the glasspannel is quite heavy, and i dont think 100 is enough.

gr,
Vic

its not really about the weight of the bonnet or rear glass pannel, its more about the pivot point and leverage.
glad to hear its 100N in the back aswel.
hopefully they arrive today. i ordered them at Gasveerwinkel.nl , i had to fill in the parameters; lenght, diameter, force, etc..
unfortunately i might have hurt the engine yesterday, went for a good blast and now have a loud knock in the left bank, hopefully only a tappet..
