Group Buy for Bonnet Strut/Hood Damper

[hamish_023]

Bonnet doesn't sit up anymore that was only when faced otherway, rust only on balls which can be painted and the snapping bolts well kieran brakes everything he sees. Look at his posts and his fit fog light skills!

(I did chuckle at his fog light thread though )

Have not been able to find anywhere that sells this bolt thing nor could it be rewelded at my work, I don't have any days off work so I can't go to specialty stores.....keep trying to tell Aaron to go seeing as he has 2 days off every week....lazy bastard still won't go down!
Had no luck getting it through the supposed 'maker' of the product, they just claimed they don't have any. Reading between the lines, they purchase the struts from China and sell it as their own product is what I'm guessing....so that's 2 middle men

Anyone else been looking out for these little ball bolts? Let me know if you can find any.

Maybe they think that you would wanna bypass all the hassle and just buy another set!

$100 for a bolt? BARGAIN!

Probably still cheaper than what subaru would charge for a bolt.

Exactly haha!

I'm still tossing up whether to get one of these! Cons seem to outweigh the pros?

Pros:
- +1000 street cred
- Makes opening bonnet 1 second quicker

Cons:
- Rusting
- Snapping
- Bonnet doesn't sit as flush

I have installed the struts and retained the bonnet rod, so it now take me 2 seconds. Pro - It is safer with two methods of bonnet support

In fact, when this set cops out on me, I will just go to these guys for a replacement set to see if they have something to fit.

Thanks to 3rspecb for the tip!
