Well the gas bonnet lifters went in this afternoon. Took about 20 mins because I needed to fiddle with a washer or 2 to get the fit right. I've created a wiki guide on CCUK for the fitting Wiki Entry
They seem to work well. Worth £40 IMO  Here are some pics  Bracket with washer piping  Bracket  Fitted   In place with the bonnet 'popped'

it was just the generic g6 one. I suppose you could get weaker struts but not too sure. The lower part mounts on a ball joint which is essentially an M4 bolt which replaces the stock bolt holding the rubber bonet stop. No drilling to do or anything!!! Unbolt old, bolt on new
