Bob Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Strange, mine seemed to be holding up again today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Decided against fitting mine today till i can get stuart to mod the bonnet brackets:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'll see how they go... maybe a redesign of the bracket on the cards?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Drop uk-rich a line - got mine from him and they're a perfect fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well, my pieces of crap lasted nearly 3 weeks before they failed tonight, dropping the bonnet gently down on top of my head. Just replaced the brackets with some of uk-rich's (highly recommended!) as well. Fitted mine today along with Rich's brackets, they only just hold the bonnet up, cant see these lasting long, ill invest in the dampers Rich has i think.

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 strange! Did mine last weekend and they seemed fine. Infact, I was alittle concerned they seemed too stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Fitted mine today along with Rich's brackets, they only just hold the bonnet up, cant see these lasting long, ill invest in the dampers Rich has i think. maybe they have different fill rates ? the rs ones will be strong enough no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 any chance you could do a group buy on these rich, think there could be plenty of interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 you can buy the dampers from rs yourself, i can do you the brackets, recorded delivery, painted black, perfect fit for £20 the only down side is you need to re-tap a m6 hole up to m8, i can lend you the right size drill and tap for this (if you have no experience i can talk you through it, its very easy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
