Default Bonnet Struts

Fitted some new bonnet struts from SGS to my Lagoon today and the difference is amazing . I knew the old ones were getting a little "tired", but hadn't realised just how bad they were.

With the old ones, I had to lift the bonnet to around 90% of it's opening height before the struts would take effect, and just the lightest touch was required to close it. With the new ones, it very nearly opens itself (slight exaggeration but only slight!), and requires a positive effort to close it rather than just dropping from 6 - 8 inches.

Fitting was a doddle, but I just had to spray them Lagoon first! .
