uk-rich Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 i ordered some gas springs from rs componenets, and made some custom brackets, works out at about £75 beware if you are thinking about getting some cheap dampers, be sure that they will support the bonnet, it is very heavy, and the leverage makes this even worse. some pics of the install can be painted gold for a extra £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
