check the bonnet pin in the background on the lip of the bulkhead, bad Idea IMO and will look gash!

I raised the bonnet pins on the back, but with a very thin carbon bonnet I had to put a 5th bonnet pin on the front of the bonnet to stop it flapping. It looks ok and there is no need for a 6th bonnet pinon the bulkhead.

I quite fancy getting a pair of gaz gold fronts now actually.

 

I should be a able to get a very good price through my work as we fit a lot of gaz and nitron kits to the tvrs and lotus'. I'm sure i could sort something out if anybody's interested in a set.

I do not run the bonnet raised at all. I run just a fibreglass skin so I use bonnet pins to secure it.

 

I have had two reverse scoops installed to clear the raised towers.

Look at the pics and you will see the reverse scoops

ah cool, so will remove hot air too

 

any pics from the front angle?

yeah they looks nice, can you measure the bodies?

 

325, mine are 300, and fine them fine but i'm running std 309 rear ARB

 

Sorry the car is 100km from home...I will measure once I get it back to my own garage!

I'd be interested in front struts only

bit delayed, but the bodies on my bilsteins are 330mm top to toe, can't really say what the damper travel/sag is yet because there is no engine in it at the moment.

i was just thinking about what happens when the eccentric top mounts are fitted

above the strut tops prior to seeing this topic and i figured out that in this case

it's just the mounting bolts taking up all the load, while when they're mounted

below (like they should) it's the whole top mount that takes the load.

 

btw, another round of GAZ group buy deal is currently under way .
