Big Mark Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Came across these today, thought it might be of interest to others. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?700511-FS-Custom-Hood-strut-brackets. The universal ones are a bit crap so these look like a great and simple solution. Got a mate working out in America so think I'll get him to bring me a set back.

Rob W Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Those brackets look like the same on my Top Secret bonnet struts, they give a solid fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edvard Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I ordered these and are great quality. Now can you help me out with the gas struts dimensions? As stated on supraforums, they should be 635mm long and 60lbs am I right? If someone have a link to the corret ones I'll be grateful I saw the whifbitz ones but are expensive. I just need the struts. Cheers, Edvard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 I didn't rate the quality, they are OK but looked like they were done by a man in a shed. I've given mine to an engineering company who also said the same, so they will be banging out 30 high quality sets in due coarse for me. Dimensions and spec for struts are in the original thread I linked to. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?700511-FS-Custom-Hood-strut-brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRX Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Did these get sorted mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) TBH I left them with the engineering company and forgot all about it as busy with other stuff. I guess I should chase them up. Anyone able to measure the distance between the bolt centre holes? I'm pretty sure it's 56mm, tho sample brackets from america seem to be 58mm.
