Does anyone know of a company in UK that supplies the bonnet lifters, usually piston types, and normally two, one each side,
I want to dump the usual black one I have on my classic for something a bit more bling, bling,
Thanks Kevin.

 

Used to fit the to Golfs a lot.
Will see what I can find

 

Any news for me yet Ian?

 

Nope, can't find a sniff of them from the companies I remember from my Golf days

 

Someone out there must know of a company in the UK that makes/sells something like this?????????????????????????????????????????????? ???

 

if your still needing these let me know and i will see what i can do....

 

I wouldn't mind a set of these, saw some on cheps wagon......very nice in chrome.

How much are we looking at?

Skoosh.

 

im on the case at moment and if i cant find any i may get some made up.would be able to do chrome or gold plated ones also.

 

Do you mean the hydraulic rams,like on hatch back boot lids?

 

Hi Guys Nick from Dorset here

I think Ive seen the bonnet lifters in the Demon Tweeks Catalogue, I used to have a golf and the bonnet lifters you refered to are made by Bonrath, I junked my golfs horrible stand up bar for bonnet lifters look good to

Hope this helps

Nick

 

Yes as Skoosh said i do indeed have a set of chrome
ones fitted to the bonnet of my wagon,these were
adapted from a mk3 golf kit from german sweedish &french
car parts.Not an easy job to fit.welding drilling etc.

 

Found this on the NASIOC forum, i know they are not in the UK but they should be able to ship to you (might be able to get a group buy)

Also Tein USA do some but they are not on there UK website

Granby and Catsteve
Thankyou for you comments,
Granby on both websites the bonnet lifters are for 2002 to 2005 cars as is the tein ones, is that because the chassis on my 1995 car is different and hasn't got the clearance to hold the struts??????

Catsteve , if you can make these for the classics that would be superb I just dont know looking in my engine bay if there is enough of a gully to bolt these to the inside of the wing and allow the bonnet to close, (if that makes sense )

If people want to register their interest in these on this thread then that would be worth while, maybe a groupbuy when the right ones come along???

Cheers Kevin

 

Oops didn't notice you had a classic (should have known by you name) don't know anything about them just noticed the threads on NASIOC

 

I've had an e mail from a company in America whe are currently making chrome sets for the classic shape, when they are ready they are going to e mail me, but I don't know how long thats going to be.
The price will be around the same as the TEIN ones for the later models so thats around $145 so around £70 plus shipping????????????
Cheers Kevin

 

i'd be interested in these if it happens!

 

So would I, count me in if it happens

 

i would also be interested, have also been looking everywhere for a set. Also a classic

cheers

 

Me to big fella!!!!

 

Have you tried here http://www.demon-elite.net/index2_files/page0002.htm, they are for new age but they may be developing for classic.

 

Thanks Davek
I have e mailed them.
Still waiting for the American company to come back to me!
Cheers Kev.

 

Cool, count me in

 

i have a friend working on these for a classic scoob at moment and will be ready for sale early in the new year hopefully...

 

i'm sure i seen something like that with my old 306 ?

 

wwp8 I've tried believe me but no one does these for an early scoob!!!!!!
Catsteve keep us posted

Kev.

Cheers

I still find it hard to believe the bonnet closes without any problems as there is not much room in the wing gulley for the strut to close!!!!!!
Do you have any problems at all, for instance when you close the bonnet do you hear any knocking noises ie the strut hitting the bonnet???????
If not, looking forward to the end result
Kev.

 

yep, they look the part!

deffo interested in group buy!

 

the side edge of the bonnet sits about an inch above the bolted part of the inner wing so there is enough room for the lifters to sit there quite snugly!

have seen these on other cars and they look good and guarantee that your not gonna put your windscreen through on a windy night in a shell station far far away...........

 

Has anymore happened on these?? I desperately want a set of bonnet lifters to fit a Classic Subaru, but fear I will have to adapt some from another car to fit!

Any of the previous posters on this thread got anymore info, as a couple of group buys were mentioned earlier on it??
