| Hydraulic / Gass Bonnet lifters for Mk1 Octy? Just in the process of sorting everything out on my car, bonnet stay bracket has snapped so I need some bonnet lifters like on a Vectra, I've found some for the Fabia but not the octy. Does anyone know of someone who sells them? Thanks!

| Re: Hydraulic / Gass Bonnet lifters for Mk1 Octy? Ebay but you need to play about with the fitting of them! Awesome sell the Milotec one's that bolt straight on (I have them on mine  )

| Re: Hydraulic / Gass Bonnet lifters for Mk1 Octy? I have the eBay ones, they're OK but as said they need modifying (grinding or bending - take your pic!). The quality is not that hot to be honest, but they've lasted nearly a year on mine. Fezboy, do the milotec items need any modifications? I'm tempted to replace mine

| Re: Hydraulic / Gass Bonnet lifters for Mk1 Octy? Rallynuts.com do them I think - no idea on quality or fit though. I still want a set. The Mk4 Golf ones are no good as the Golf has an extra bracket welded to the strut top to support them.

| Re: Hydraulic / Gass Bonnet lifters for Mk1 Octy? They look like they are the same idea as the eBay ones, but sound much better quality. The only problem I had with mine was removing the bonnet torx bolt! I snapped two torx bits and bent a third trying to get the bugger out

| Re: Hydraulic / Gass Bonnet lifters for Mk1 Octy? Thinking of fitting them on my Octy 1Vrs. With the size and weight of the bonnet do you fit 2 of them. Just thought with just one the bonnet might flex down on the opposite side. Mind you I know naff all about them!! |
