Just toying with the idea, not sure if it would work. Would it be possible to use the boot lifters the struts to lift and hold the bonnet?

Glass is uber heavy so it will be heavier than the Bonnet :D Plenty of room too bodge them on shouldnt be a problem

Wouldn't the throw on them be too much? And I'd imagine the bonnet would fly up as it's so light.

Ant speak to Silverbullit, he has does his, dont which car they came from, but do work very well. Looks the biz.

Do not use the stock zed tailgate lifters for the bonnet !

 

Bonnet weighs less than 5kg, the tailgate weighs over 60kg ! You would barely be able to shut the bonnet and it would smash through the windscreen when you open it :rofl:

 

MantaV8, Silverbullet and others have done it and sure they can recommend appropriate lifters.

Dazza does actually say some suggestions :)

same link as i put up mate and ime still waiting for a thankyou:x::D

Ok, thanks for the replys. A couple of people had them for sale so I thought I would put the question out there. I will have a look into it a bit more and see if I can pick up a second hand one from another car.

 

Thanks again.

ps tut tut to who ever said bodge them on its not a word in our vocab lol have told ant about some adjustable items from rs at mo they seem to be holding the lambo door conversion on my lotus up fine and you just let the pressure out to suit your needs so all should be good . And we will have no more mention of the bodging word again thanks pml !!!

Can you point us in the direction of a cheap lambo door conversion kit??

Honest advice time here from a company that has fitted several lambo kits !! Right buy a cheap kit get a kin expensive labour fit bill buy an expensive kit and get a cheap labour fit bill lol

No honestly dont try and save money on a cheap kit anything universal is normally rubbish go for a kit by LSD there side impact tested and come with full instructions and are idiot proof ie basically auto aline themselves so no striker fouling on closing . prob expect to pay between £1500 to 2000 for the kit but then fitting should be around the £500 mark . If you think you can still save money going down the cheap route take my word the last kit we fitted cost £500 and sheared the ram off first time we pulled the door down !!!!!! just be warned !!!!

Bonnet strut works well for me
