Hi guys, been playing around with boot poppers on the zed, replacing the springs for uprated versions. As I refuse to pay £40 EACH for new ones

 

These are now fulling working and for sale. They Pop completely standard boots up to boots with a large nismo spoiler (approx 15lb)

 

How it works is...

You remove your poppers (1/4 turn they will drop off)

Package them up, send them over to me.

I will remove the old springs and replace them with the new uprated version. Then send them back to you

 

if you would like full details please PM me :)

 

If you don't know what I'm on about its these things

 

PRICE- £15 a pair including 1st class postage

Good idea. Would it be better to get a few second hand ones in so you could offer an exchange basis? Only a thought.

I did think of this, but as they are not a part of the car that is necessary to make it run and they aren't easy to get hold of. I thought it was better. Would probably be looking at about a week turn around

Anyone having problems with this should try the 3 * 1p trick first. Basically open the seal and put 3 pennies in the bottom of the seal and reseal.

 

Did mine at the weekend and the boot now pops up fine first press. It wouldn't pop at all before had 2 double press and also pull up on the boot.

Not trying to p!ss on anyone's fire here (And I may be totally wrong), but isn't the problem with the boot popping actually to do with the gas struts? People use washers and pennies to fix this temporarily as it only costs a few pence compared to replacing the struts. There's no guarantee that the springs will fix long term as the struts are still too weak (And presumably getting worse with age). Replacing the struts is only around £50 and it's a tested long term fix. :surrender:

The gas struts don't aid the boot popping up, it's the springs that push the boot up from the latch :thumbs:

 

In which case, I stand corrected and will be watching these with interest. (Currently using some rubber washers and removed the boot weight!) :thumbs:

I have uprated boot struts and as said above the issue is with the popper not strut. It doesn't pop high enough to let the strut do its job. Once I lift the boot about 15-20cm up the strut dies the rest. So I would be up for these uprated springs especially as I'm installing a huge spoiler now.

Is the any reason you can't just send out the springs for the end user to swap it? It very easy and can save the hassle of posting both ways and bring the cost down :D

Names added to the list :thumbs:

 

I can send them out to you if you wish, but before try and remove the springs yourself first!

They are not easy to get apart! you will find the washer with the E clip will go flying across the room taking someones eye out, i know first hand how much it hurts trust me... :lol:

 

I have made up a special g clamp to remove them Safely :D
