Installation time should be under 30 mins. Once you work out what goes where, it's a doddle!
If there's anyone in the Lincoln area who would like these fitting/any assistance, please feel free to get in touch!
I reckon I could get the time down to 20 minutes now

Installed mine today - took about 5 mins. They are ok quality, the dampers seem fine but the brackets to the bonnet are only held on with one bolt - I guess only time will tell how much abuse they take but for

How are you guys getting on with your hood dampers? Are they still working ok? I'm thinking of ordering a set but don't want to waste money if they pack in within the space of 12 months.

Not sure if I got exacly the same make but they were cheap and they look the same

Mine have been on for over a year with no problems. So much easier but not great when someone else opens the bonnet and they don't realise they're on

I think i might get these, in theory with my snorkle in place and the old hood prop removed it should be easier to close as the hood prop wont sit ontop of the snorkle anymore?

A little less stress and it would be perfect.

Cheers

Still working fine. Some very light corrosion on the end fittings, but no operational issues.
