Here are close close-ups. I would not have installed them if I thought that they could rotate. The bracket is much more eloborate then you think. It is flat under the bolt, then it has a staking feature at the bend.

Also I do not think that it would harm a FG or CF hood, simply because they bolt to the outside of the metal hinge and they are much shorter than the FD versions. I was just checking the amount of pressure to drop the TII hood, and it is not extreme, once it gets about half way down it has almost no upward force on it. Hope that helps.

 

^looks good

 

let me go check on the fiber glass hood that i got ... i might have to do this ...

 

the steel bonnet is 23kg and needs each strut pressurized to 400newtons each, the alloy bonnet can also use the 400N struts and gives it a bit of a pop up effect towards the top of the opening process, the alloy bonnet is 12kg.

for the fg or carbon hoods id drop the pressures to about 200N each to be safe can probably go to 150N

i make full stainless kits aswell as black

 

Installed my set today, pretty happy with them.

 

Looking good, are those the ones from ebay?

 

Yeah same one banzi got.

 

Anyone install these ebay struts on an FG or CF hood yet?
