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 smile.gif

Here are some pics thumbsup.gif

its just where the bolt is at, the struts are very strong, this means a little bolt won't be able to hold this bracket in place, the bracket is in the mercy of the stronger strut.
