JV, he gives them away.? :grin:

I think ?14 is about right. I don't know this personally but I've heard that they can cause dints in the bonnet.?I could be wrong but maybe someone else could confirm or deny. :undecided:

They seem to be a fair price to me.
I was thinking of fitting some myself but I'm also worried about the stories of them distorting the bonnet around the rear hinge area. The mk1/2 bonnet isn't designed for the weight of the bonnet to be supported so close to the hinges so I suppose it's quite feasible that it could end up damaged.
I'm gonna look closely at a few motors fitted with them at this years shows before I risk fitting any.

I've got them on my cab, and they are fine. They havent done any damage and have been on there for about 9 years now.
You can pick them up at shows, for around ?15-20. I think 25+P&P is a bit much.

These cause the back of the bonnet to lift up and messes the alignment up. I drilled new holes into my brackets and bolted the struts on rather than taking the bonnet bolt out.
