I'm tidying up my garage and I've come across a pair of gas struts that I'd bought for a Jeep but never fitted.

The length between the 2 mounting points is approx 285mm when fully extended so roughly 300mm overall.

Can anyone tell me how this compares to the kits you can buy? It should be easy enough to fabricate a couple of brackets.

First impressions are that they maybe just a tad too short as it looks like the bonnet may sit a couple of inches lower than with the metal pole.

Any help with the dimensions would be appreciated.

Cheers chaps

Got redlines coming for mine, should be on in a few weeks.... No idea on their length or anything. Loads have them though. Got sick and tired of bumping my head on the pole when doing work under the hood :lol:

Too many screens, Mustang forums are always on one of them! Other less interesting things on the others.
