Cheapo bonnet damper?

It's the same thing in theory, just without the £200 coat of paint and sticker :)

 

The trick is finding one that's the right length to mount as easily as the TS and that's suitable for the weight of a Supra bonnet.

 

All it needs is for someone to buy a TS set and take it to a specialst to be matched up to something with a more sensible price tag - they would make a killing.

No idea, only thought of it this morning!! They'd be a custom fit so various sizes would fit. Presume you'd be looking at approx 300mm closed and 400-450mm opened. They're rated in Newtons so you'd need to work out the weight of the bonnet (11kg I think) divided by 2 (2 dampers) then force x distance methinks.

Disclaimer... only guessing... not my fault if you get a bonnet on the back of the head!!
