FOSTA Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Need some bonnet struts for the new carbon bonnet, will these be ok to use? Read somewhere that they cause stress on the bonnet threads :/ Who's using bonnet lifters on the carbon bonnets and what brand are you using, and any problems? http://bit.ly/ZjJFVT Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 as per the Ad, there high pressure struts, which will probably damage a CF Bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 So what are you guys with the carbon bonnets using? Stock bonnet brace. Looking into getting bonnet struts and have looked at these myself, so I'll be keeping an eye on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 You need to find another car with a similarly weighted bonnet and use the struts off that or get one custom made to suit the weight of the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I used these http://www.strutsdirect.co.uk/components/variable-force-gas-struts.php - Vaiable Force Struts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
