Gas bonnet struts - fitting help
I prefer to modify the strut so that it fits between the bonnet bolt and a wing bolt.
I have found that you can unscrew the end off the strut ( a little heat might be required) and then shorten it and cut some more thread on, so that it all lines up with a wing bolt hole. I also prefer to use the fixing where it is bolted from under the wing, this requires the removal of the plastic arch liner if you have one.
