Disco 1 - gas struts bonnet?

(1/3) > >>

stuntman:
Has anyone fitted any gas struts to the bonnet of their disco?

I've got easy acess to some gas struts approx 180n so should do the job, I know I have to work out leverage forces etc but how arew they fitted?

I know you can buy kits but I'm a fan of make your own!

Thanks Andi K

muddyjames:
There was a thread in the defender section a few months back with someone doing this. They said that ford escort boot ones were far to powerful andnearly took thier head off and ones from a chinckwichento or how ever you spell it were just right.

I want to do this to my disco too so I shall watch this thread and see.

TDi90:
mee too im watching :D

Evilgoat:
Audi use them too. I could get pics of the setup on the bonnet if people want.

Thrasher:
Got 'em on the RR - want a pic of that too?
