Bonnet Stop for GQ

ilikedonuts_10 · 10th December 2010, 07:54 PM

Hi all,

I need to get a new set of bonnet stops for my GQ and have been looking around a bit on ebay. I was talking to a guy who suggested using 80 series bonnet stops as he found the nissan rubbers kept breaking.

Would anyone suggest this or should I stick to the nissan makes?

Also I can't seem to find the 80 series ones online, does anyone know where I could get these from?

I use the rubber chair stoppers that you buy from Bunnings at 2 bucks for a set of four and they last for a couple of years

I did the Chair stop for few years but during the last build i replaced them with Genuine Nissan ones and am very happy with them. I got them off Ebay and would buy them again. I think they will outlast me though.

I have done this same thing and they have lasted over 8 years and still look good.

I used cloth tape which has held for about 6 months but looks horrible. Luckily no one gets to look at them too often. I like the chair leg rubbers idea. Any mods necessary or just slip on?

Cheers

And do you have any probs with the bonnet sticking? I currently have to give it a thump while pulling the release cable to get it off the bonnet stops.

Nah no probs with sticking, maybe ya release mechanism needs a bit of lube
