106 Bonnet Lifts on a Saxo

[James93]

Is this possible or easy to be done? its a mod I'd love to do!

[LSOfreak]

it is possible
you need to weld on the bracket

[Ryancoyle]

It's an easy enough job to do.

I have my bonnet raised on my ph2 VTR

[LSOfreak]

no mate i think he means the 106 hydraulic bonnet lifts which keep the bonnet open

[James93]

Yes sorry thats correct the Gas bonnet lifters, I worded it abit badly sorry! :homme:

Is it easy enough to do? and in terms of mounting points is it obvious or need to be worked out etc? Could it not be nut and bolted?

Nor me. Or the feelings of how chav I'd look.

Or the massive disappointment when theres an expected mahoosive turbo or sorts under the hood thats why you have needed to raise it and its actually a 1.1 with an electronic supercharger :homme:

I've had bonnet lifts with custom brackets made for over two years but never got round to fitting :(

[James93]

They really do look smart! trip to breakers i think :panic:

[DavidsVTR]

I wonder why they fitted them to the 106 and not the saxo ?? With them both being more or less the same car.

[Ross]

I wonder why they fitted them to the 106 and not the saxo ?? With them both being more or less the same car.

Because the 106 is a classier car?

Because 106 drivers are fat and lazy god forbid them having to use energy to actually open their own bonnets.

Think you'll find they actually take more effort to open than without struts initially. So that'll make the saxo owners fat and lazy I guess...? hur hur hur

[James93]

106 > Saxo any day of the week!

[Bedford126]

106 > Saxo any day of the week!

How dare you..

Why didn't i think of this..... :p

[blenky-vtr]

I want lifters on mine but not sure how to go about it

Or an over tightened alternator belt :homme:

[pdiddley]

[edbar1]

Was looking for gas struts for mine so would be interested in how it's done
