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'

Hate to bring this back up, but my bracket tends to pivot when opening and closing. It does this because unlike other brackets for cars there is not piece on the bracket that grabs on anything besides a bolt that holds it down and pivots around. It would make sense if it held on both bolts. How did others do theirs without the pivot motion and scratching the paint as the strut changes position?
