[Mk2] [Generic] Gas strut proppy thingy
Am after one for my bonnet, anyone know where I can get them from?
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Gas strut proppy thingy
you need 2 for the bonnet but I wouldnt bother - I have some - they do the job but they dont fit too well and make the bonnet sit proud ever so slightly.
There may be better ones out there but for the 'usefulness' its not worth it - certainly helpful on the engine lid and you only need one.

that's very true, the engine lid one is brilliant but the bonnet ones I have do make it sit up a little

Ah right, nevermind then =(
Thanks for the advice! Just wanted to be snazzy but you're right about the engine bay ones, they are cool and simple to fit. I've had mine a while now and love itttttt as simple as it is!

Those engine lid props seem a bit expensive for what they are
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Gas strut proppy thingy
My engine lid one sticks up a little on one side though,not sure what the fix would be either.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Gas strut proppy thingy
Why?,the spring thing keeps it up,or am I missing the point

Don't know why yours would be sticking up mate except one of the brackets may not be turned enough, I'll post up a picture of mine later, excuse the mess

Ster Derner did, but he sold his MR2 a while ago
Handy if youve gone spoilerless or aftermarket spoiler, will open the bootlid fully in a controlled manner unlike the existing one

Mines pretty much the same as the pics,only difference is that the one on the turret is at 90 degrees to the shaft where yours is turned a little,lid just sits up by a couple of mm,like the hinge is worn
