Struts for bonnet/boot

[Jonny weggie]

Just fitted struts for my bonnet, they do fit neatly but work well, probably fit boot as well. Scrap yard -- Off a Citreon ax at £5 each well worth it.Fitted to a 350 and a 390se.

Thanks for the timely post - my bonnet struts just failed, currently replaced by a wooden baton!

That's handy to know. I currently use a floor mop! Just the right length you know

What rating are they? the originals were 100N most cars are fitted with over 200N struts. If too high they can damage the fibreglass mounts and tear out the studs!

Hi to be honest i don't know, but my pal with the 390 has fitted them all ready and he's very particular with his car. He say's that's the first thing he looked at.
