Just to feedback these are great brackets. note though - I bought the gas struts and sockets from SGS but had to switch out from 51cm to 46.6cm (including the sockets at each end) to get correct fitment. All good now [emoji106]

Spoke to engineering company yesterday that made these and they have 2 more pairs sat there on from the batch they made.

 

Will be getting these at the weekend, so if anyone wants 1 get in touch.

 

Are these ones sold too now?

 

I'll take a set if any available

I’ve had a few people ask about the bonnet support strut sizes. Mine are 500mm socket end to end when extended. I’ve also flipped mine around from the earlier mounting position pics as Frank informed me they should be chamber side high.

Thanks for the PM Delboy and also Spunkmeyer for the SGS details.

 

I've ordered from SGS the following

2x https://www.sgs-engineering.com/gs8-18-200-240 Choose 300n

4x https://www.sgs-engineering.com/g1-plastic-ball-socket

2x https://www.sgs-engineering.com/x2-ball-extension

 

The total comes to £72.65. Total ordering online should be £64.15, just emailed them about this.

 

I'll let you know how fitment is.

Hopefully fitting mine this weekend.

Which parts have you swapped from your pics? Is it the gas struts, as I'm assuming the brackets only mount one way but not had chance to test fit yet?

Just my gas struts were the wrong way around, not the brackets.

Glad it's all complete and working now :)
