The old bonnet support makes a good fire poker

Am just admiring the neat motor👌

great video and just bought them from ebay as well, i had looked at doing something one day but stalled . You do great videos by the way, clear concise and well made, no BS. I dont need my bonnet to go up that far anyway. thanks

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

@@ignitionoffroad5028 thanks mate!

[@v26224]

Definitely a good mod. I used an old boot strut out of an Outback, tried 2 but almost sent the bonnet through the windscreen, 1 was enough

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Haha, yes the aluminium bonnets are very light so they don’t take much to lift

just got them in the mail! about to give it a goo cheers mate!

excellent video dude just what I was looking for. I really didn't want to spent what grimmspeed is asking but I think I will have to 😥

[@ThePiitteri]

Are you kidding me. Almost 20 years of driving. Loved the fast&furious series but never seen this mod.

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

So simple but so good!

buen tutorial saludos desde chile

[@TsvetomirIvanov]

Hi mate, can you please tell me what the length of the struts is. The reason I'm asking is because I'm from Bulgaria and sadly Subaru parts a hard to come by as they are not very popular, so I'll have to find a couple of random struts or get a couple from a Legacy or Outback if they are the same size. Thanks!

[@69deviousdog]

How did you depress the struts?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

What do you mean by that? In general the bonnet struts aren’t very powerful as they only have to lift a lightweight aluminium bonnet. That’s where some DIYers have problems when they use struts that are too powerful and can’t get the bonnet closed again.

Can u please link these

I got my kit but the fender bolt is wrong size, my car has 10mm bolts and they supplied 12mm so hopefully they can correct that. I assume your fender bolts are 10mm too?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Yes I believe they are 10mm

[@roscored1000]

@@ignitionoffroad5028 your kit is different to mine unfortunately i may have to modify brackets as they were not at right angles to body but made my own bonnet brackets and it works well thanks again for the inspiration

kzbin.info/www/bejne/poqbfXppdtera5Y On my Subaru I installed worn out baggage door struts of a local LADA :-) For the baggage door they were really bad, but for subaru's light aluminum bonnet they seemed they are gonna work forever - they work really well :-)
