Clarkie Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Was in about the boot today and was wondering what this black box is? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evest Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 It's the counterweight that helps your boot to close, against the force of the struts. You can take it out if you want to save (a bit of) weight, but then you will have to push harder to close your boot, as the struts will try to keep it open.

BulletMagnet Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Removal helps if your struts are weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkie Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm surprised a counterweight is needed, the boot is super heavy! Thanks for that, might just whap it oot, weight saving's always a bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
