Where can I get some hydraulic bonnet struts?
 

Any one know where I can get a set of bonnet dampers from don't want eBay jobbies.

For what car? Tein ones.

Sorry its a hawkeye where's the best place to get tein ones from?

Hey Jon i think their discontinued so can no longer get them new, demon tweeks used to stock them few yrs back, tein website says item no longer available, there's a clean looking second hand set currently on ebay funny enough which came off a subaru, not sure which model tho, if ya search for teen bonnet dampers they should pop up fella

Bloody keyboard or fat fingers lol should read Tein not teen

I got some for my classic on ebay about 60 quid and find no issues they came from germany. I think tegiwa do a newage kit but a bit more expensive.

One of the best mods ive done to the car imo.

contact a company called GAS STRUT ENGINEERING they will make whatever size and connector you want but i expect they will want to know how heavy the bonnet is :thumb:

Crazyspeedfreak on here used to sell them on group buys,he might have some left?

Thanks Ossett :)

Pm sent Jon

Oh I want some

Group buy? @ csf :D

They just look the same as ones on eBay.

Cheers jay ! I can only see one Uk seller of the struts at £60 delivered and they are slightly different design although I do not no who his supplier is so I cannot 100% confirm that but by the pics some components do look different.

I can do a group buy no worries I was speaking with the op earlier and isn’t in a super hurry so if we can get a list of people together or if people want to pm me we can do it that way :)

Put me down for a set for a classic if the group buy goes ahead.

Groupbuy now up and running in the groupbuy section :)

Just need to copy and paste the list and add your details of what u want, if your unsure
Just let me no on the thread and I will add you as requested

Hi

I'm interested but I have a question. Is there alot of resistence in these when closing the bonnet? With the standard bonnet prop it's just a case of dropping from say 6-7 inches and the bonnet shuts, if these have a lot of resistence meaning pushing down on the bonnet could result in denting it.

Sorry if it's a retarded question

Hi Shreksta,

You couldn’t compress the struts by hand so as to give you a idea, the angle at which they
Are situated and the weight of the bonnet though is... I’ve never had a issue of a bonnet been dented before... as long as the brackets are put the correct way round and I recomend closing from the Center top of bonnet you shouldn’t have any issues...

:)

Ok buddy thanks

Ordered a few sets over the years from different sellers all come in unbranded boxes, with lost of Chinese spelling mistakes :thumb:
