looking at the bottom of the fender.
At this stage im going to make a right angel bracket and bolt it to the fender welded pinch seem
then making a similar bracket the the bonnet...at this stage i was looking in using roofing screw to secure to the bonnet but over time they work lose. but until then it will do until i have a good look at it.

I suggest using EL falcon set up.

Good idea, wagon tailgate struts may be better than bonnet struts with tailgates being heavier than bonnets. Falcon or Commondore parts are very common so should be a bit cheaper.

You know Tim, I was just thinking the same thing. Well, I was thinking XF cos of the weight. But EL might be easier to come by.

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