14N Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi all, I now have 5 more sets of bonnet dampers (1x orange sticker and 4x white if you're interested). I've updated the first post with a continued list. If you would like a set, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:RedZed: Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'll take a set! Stickers will come off so not bothered about the colour of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 You have to open the bonnet about a quarter by hand then the dampers will take over and raise it slowly for you Great mod :thumbs: Thanks Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, mine seems to get stuck between that quarter and full open... I'll see how it goes for a bit and hope it improves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with mine, lift it up a bit and then it lifts the rest nice and slowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 My drive is on a slope and I've noticed they behave differently whether I'm nose up or bottom up (insert innuendo). if I park facing down the dampers do struggle to open the bonnet fully, but if facing uphill, they're fine. The dampers take over from just before half distance. Same if parked on the flat. Once open, they hold the big heavy old bonnet firmly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a slight downward slope on the drive and its a little bit slower that if I reverse in . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hmmm, mine seems to get stuck between that quarter and full open... I'll see how it goes for a bit and hope it improves Nothing to worry about ~ still much better than using the bonnet stay as there is much more room to work on things, ....plus do you really want it to shoot up so fast that it knocks your teeth out every time you open the bonnet?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 ^^ Very nice. Am I the only one though that has left his stickers on? I like my blue "health & safety" warning stickers on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 No Green or Purple stickers planned then? I'm sure I could get you a set with green or purple stickers mate The stickers themselves will probably have no relevance to the dampers or anything else automotive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 That's why I took my stickers off - to save weight. Lighter = faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
