Gas Strut for the boot

[BRGS2]

Just bought one of these for my S2 - got it from a scimitar specialist but I am reliably informed that it will do the job. On first impressions it seems really high pressure - is there not a risk of damaging the GRP?

Hopefully this will finally sort my boot & bonnet woes!

anyone?

Do a search... sure this has been covered before in the S series forum...

Gave up trying to get a suitable Gas strut to fit my S2, in the end fitted a simple stay and catch, the stay in 1/4" aluminium bar bent at right angles and used the original fixing point, the catch was epoxied to the inside of the boot. (no weight, no hassle)
The Bible shows a catch of the type used on "drop leaf" cupboards!
Unless you can see your boot flex under the "pressure" I doubt if it would cause damage although I would watch the mounting point on the bodywork.

..surely a Chimaera one would be an appropriate strength...?
