Mark

 

Not yet mate. Had to collect them from the Post Office last night, so I didn't get a chance.

Might see if I can do it at the Halfway House tonight!

 

You'll need a 10MM & 12MM socket and a 12MM spanner.

I'll take some with me.

Only takes about 15 minutes...

Mark

 

Nice one!

 

best bring the spec'c' out too.... mine are here.....

 

Got mine, thanks to Spec C for sorting this Groupbuy and thanks to Scottlowe.



Jim

 

Have those tools in my boot from when I fitted mine

 

Mine turned up today, look lurrley, cant wait to fit them

 

how long are these taking to be delivered? im gonna order very soon and wondered how long they would take to get to me!

has any one fitted them yet are they as simple as people are saying!

 

Had them for several weeks now, very easy to fit indeed, just remember grease and threadlock as well as the usual tools


redundant bonnet stay still there

 

Not arrived yet

 

top man steve

great group buy

budgie

 

any excuse to show off that top mount

 

got mine and all fitted, they are anice touch and their fine on a ali bonnet

thanks to scott lowe and budgie

 

Mine arrived this morning, didn't get a chance to fit the till just now, found it a bit fiddly getting the little spring retainer thingys in, one flew.. but found it and eventually got it in... does it matter what way up they go?? i've fitting the dampers at the bottom, some instructions in english might have been uesful...??

Anyway, now happy, mine don't hold the bonnet anywhere though, only right at the top..... is that correct??
they also seem a bit stiff, i wouldn't want to apply that much pressure to an Ali bonnet!!

Cheers Spec c... and Scott....

 

when you've got it, you got to flaunt it m8
that's why i don't dye my hair

budgie

 

why me?

budgie

 

Great service, I ordered mine yesterday afternoon and got them today and fitted all in under 24hrs

Ron the damper should be on the bonnet as in Budgie's picture. Yes they are stiff to push down especially on an ally bonnet.

Colin.

 

Hi Colin.. i take it you can read Japanese then.......

Looks like i'll be takin em off again then doesn't it... doh!

 

All fitted!

Thanks to Mark B4 and Spec C for fitting them in the pub carpark last night!

 

got mine

not fitted yet...

should they be nigh on impossible to compress by hand? mine wont budge!!!!

my japanese is a bit rusty at the moment so instructions r useless

 

Mine wouldn't either by hand.......are fine on the car.

 

whats this about fitting spring retainers?

Mine came with two bolts, two brackets, two ball joint bolts and two washers.

Nothing else.

Does it matter which way round they go, because space looks tighter at the hinge end!

Got mine today

Cheers to Spec'c'57 and Scott Lowe.

 

TBH i would fit them as scott did, (pic on page 1...) as for room it wouldnt matter as when they close up its compressed and in exactlly the same place...

the spring retainers are pre-fitted onto the ball joints these need removing prior to fitting otherwise the ball joints wont fit....

steve.... anymore problems i will try to help.... :d

 

Think i better get my **** in gear and go and pick these up.

 

So you somehow knew before fitting that the struts compress fully?

Clearly they were always going to fit, but I whince everytime I shut the bonnet even with just the brackets and the ball joints fitted!

 

Took my whole 12 and a half stone of weight and still wouldn't compress.

Fitted them on the bonnet and with the right pressure they moive perfectly.
