RobSheffield Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 maybe should be in technical, but here goes anyway! i noticed Gamer had gas struts on his bonnet (nice car dude) and wondered, anyone have any fitted to a Supra, or know where we can get them? cheers guys Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 had em on my mk111, maybe they didnt use gas struts on the mk1v , with the bonnet being aluninium its light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 ok, i emailed the chap on GTR forums who did this modification and offered a group buy here http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/showthread.php?t=26523&page=1&pp=15&highlight=gas+bonnet+struts and he sent me a link here - http://www.augment.jp/bonnettop2.html however - the site is in Japanese, and it appears they dont supply a Supra one any ideas if the GTR one would be too strong/weak? surely its a case of playing with the mount point to suit the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 id be interested in this, very good idea as my bonnet pins dont allow the bonnet rest to lay flat so i took it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 would tailgat struts work? if we messed with the mount points...i think they may do - especially on a carbon bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 i have my old tailgate struts and on of them is really weak but will hold my bonnet up so i might make something to secure it on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
