rasslenny Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Any one ever put hood lifts on their ep... im almost certain we do not have any where to bolt the struts to but im asking never the same Quote
Flynn Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 How do you mean mate....like gas struts?I picked up a set of boot ones (ep91) with a view to use them as bonnet lifts.....still in the shed though Quote
rasslenny Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 yea man gas shocks i have a set of tien ones off a scrapped civic but wanted to know if there would be existing holes on car for them... the car is in the shop so i cant check .... reason for asking is if they can not a guy just offered me some decent money for them and i will send them Quote
Fozzie Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) I think you'd have to drill a couple holes in the wings and in the bonnet to mount the brackets? No reason it wouldn't work well if you did though Edited August 7, 2013 by uberphil88 Quote
TurboTobz Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 It's been done yeah, there's a guide somewhere in tgtt forum, most people use Peugeot 106 boot struts Quote
Flynn Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Looking at the effort going into the rest of your build mate.....a little bit of thinking and a couple of choice holes and i'd say you'll get them on ok! Quote
