Bonnet lifters

[M1tt]

was just woundering if there was a company that made bonnet lifters for an n15, or if you could use ones from a different car.

comes to around 41 euros or 25 sterling, not bad but there are sets on ebay for cheaper..

Theese are custom sets made for the almera.
The guy has got them from someplace in germany, and completes the set with nuts and those stuff to fit the mera.

It's ok price in Norway, espessially scince it's a bolt on (need to drill one hole just)..

They come in black, needs to be sanded and polished chrome 8)

[M1tt]

ive jus got some boot struts off a mera for free, how did u fit urs paul????

 

[CoV]

tut tut txt type lol

bolted the ram end to the bonnet hinges, used one of the existing bolts on the hinge and roughly copied the angle of my dads 406 bonnet lifters then bolted the other end to the wing, although there is like a rolled lip on the edge of the wing which the gas strut presses against, should flatten this down really but as its pressing against it its also lifting my bonnet at the rear, no extra nut for me people to lift the bonnet lol

 

[Corbalicious]

Paul you got any pics of yours in action?

 

[CoV]

will do tomorow mate

Here you go corbs, see if that helps anyone.

 

[Corbalicious]

Ah now I see what you meant about the bonnet hinges! Thats brilliant, cheers mate I'm going to give this a try with my micra boot lifters over xmas!

 

[CoV]

where you drill the wing tho i suggest you paint it as a lot of water will get down that seam.

 

[Corbalicious]

Ok, may also be worth sealing it then.

quite a good mod this, no need for the silly bar to hold the bonnet up, this always get in my way

so much easier and no worries about knockin the bonnet stay and it slamming on your head.
