Keeping it up (Bonnet Struts)

[old phart]

So my struts on my bonnet have been getting worse and worse. Went to a local parts store (Pep Boys) and had him eyeball the closest fit of what they had. He let me take one out to the parking lot and install it before ringing me up. Kind of nice that some places still do that.

They are about .75 inches longer than OEM. Same manufacturer as the stock struts. The bonnet opens a bit higher than stock but it isn't adding any additional stress to the hinges.



The price is for both of them.

Great post, always nice to have cheaper AM parts.

I realise you are over the pond but over this side we have a company up north area of the Uk called SGS who make bonnet and boot struts for anything on wheels and in either standard OEM form or polished Stainless steel which I now have on my 7VV.

Prices wise they are very good and they ship world wide too for a small additional cost.

Cheers
