Bonnet lifters and lightweight bonnets
I'd like some to go with my lightweight GRP bonnet but am worried they will be too stiff for it because it flexes so much...anyone running lifters on a lightweight bonnet?
TIA

I fitted the ones from Scott Lowe.
They arent too bad but i have to be careful when popping the bonnet when people are around and ask them not to lift it.
It does pushes the bonnet open quite quick but the stoke of the lifter does max out before the bonnet reaches the hinge limit.

I fitted some scott lowe ones to my carbon bonnet and couldn't even close it once they were fitted, if your bonnet is very light I'd not bother with them

unfortunately the bonnet would either have folded in half or the hinge area would have imploded before the struts would have closed there just wasn't enough weight in the bonnet to overcome them
shame cos they looked proper pimp
