Not Ranked
Since posting I’ve received a very helpful reply from Dana at Shell Valley who has sent me a photo, closed and open lengths of the gas struts together with the pressure (75 pounds). They are mounted at the front of the bonnet and their primary purpose is to prevent the bonnet from dropping closed. They do give some assistance to fully open when the bonnet is open a certain amount. What I need, however, is to get the bonnet open a couple of inches initially to get a hand in the centre to lift to fully open without any twisting action. I’m doubtful positioned at the front gas struts will do this but I may be wrong. That’s why Tommy’s idea interested me.
