H8RRA 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Bolt locations originally figured out by ChrisVR6 NOS (Chris) i fitted those onto nosky's, subsequently chillys vr got to be very careful where you drill the mount point on the bonnet as theres only a very small section of double skin into which you can tap. get it wrong and you won't get a fixing. once the fixings are in place, the strut is a ball socket fit with a split pin retainer. the ball socket that fits onto the ball mounted onto the wing won't fit unless you modify it. Basically, you can't get sufficient angle on the strut and have to enlarge the socket hole on the strut ball socket. again, don't take off too much or it'll pop out. overall, takes a bit of working out so don't fly into it and pay particular attention to the 2 things mentioned above. ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
praise b the LOweReD 0 Posted April 13, 2007 is there any easier way around this .. im a novice and its already makin me dizzy.. my mates a mechanic and helps a lot with things .. but not sure about mods.. are they really hard to get to work ? how much do u need to take off the socket hole ? and how do u do it.. i know i sound super dull but its best to double check everything .. measure 3 times cut once so to speak.. any help really appreciated.. andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H8RRA 0 Posted April 13, 2007 just file or grind out the socket bit by bit. fit the strut to the bottom connection and lift it as high as it can go. if it doesn't reach the ball socket on the bonnet, you'll have to take out some more. its not difficult just these details are not in the guide and if you ploughed into it, you'd potentially not get a fixing in the bonnet or wonder why you couldn't fit the strut when you'd got a fixing...... just get stuck in :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
