#2: Re: bloody bonnet Author: chunkielad, Location: LeighPosted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:15 am ---- I bought a gas strut which arrived today for this exact problem. I've had BMW and vauxhalls before this - i even did the mod to my celica!

i think you can get struts that keep the bonnet up without the weird bar thing, i may be wrong though.

#9: Re: bloody bonnet Author: chunkielad, Location: LeighPosted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 2:29 pm ---- Let em see if it works first after my clutch is sorted in a coupl of days and I'll let you all in on the HOW TO!!!
I think the strut I have might be too long so will get the right parts working first. Will involve drillig one hole in under side of bonnet. Did it on the celica and it worked a treat.

#12: Re: bloody bonnet Author: |SGP|, Location: Truro/Falmouth, CornwallPosted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:38 pm ---- I'm also interested. I was working on my filter the other day, and went indoors to get a different screwdriver. Just after I went in, the wind caught it and SLAMMED it shut.
Would have taken my arm off if I had still been there.
