Decided to add gas bonnet struts to try to eliminate the twist and uneven loading on the bonnet when opening it from one side.
I found a 1995 Rover 200 hatchback in the local breakers yard and removed the 2 struts and also the pivot pins which they connect onto.
I used existing holes in the front inner wheel arch and drilled 2no. 10mm holes in the outer side of the hingeboxes.
I then attached the pivots using nylocs.
The existing bonnet prop was removed and the only other mod that I needed to make was to re-route the 2 flexible pipe coming from the air filter box so that they didn't catch the offside strut when closing the bonnet.
I've got to say that this modification was an absolute piece of cake, took about 20 minutes to do ( after I'd got the struts) and works perfectly. Total cost £15.00 Bargain!
