Default AU ford bonnet struts

Hey,

so basically i've had a bonnet bulge fitted onto my AU fairmont. it looks great and all but when I have the bonnet up to look at the engine, the bonnet struts can't support the extra weight so it slowly starts to close down. my question is where can i buy bonnet struts which support more weight which will enable for my bonnet to stay up when i need it open!

cheers.

Chances are your current struts are close to worn out and that new stock struts will be sufficient. Bursons etc should be able to sort you out.
