GQ bonnet gas strut set up

[Bigrig]

The GU has inbuilt Nuts to screw the Struts into and I think that will be a major problem with installing in a GQ.

How did the fitting of these gas struts work out? I just bought a set of gas struts from Gas Strut Guys to suit a GR and GU for $29.45 Delivered. I was looking here to see if anyone else had completed this mod. I'll certainly put up the completed job with measurements. The part number for the struts is:- N108.

I have a GU, my mate has a GQ.
He purchased a pair of new GU Rams.
Parked them side by side, measured up, drilled and bolted them on, a little stuffing around, but did hold and work.
