GAS STRUT - HOOD LIFTERS
Posted: Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:18 pm
There’s been a lot of interest about the Hood Lifter Gas Struts which were mentioned and seen at the Sydney Homebush meet. (3 different set-ups)
Mine are modelled of the original one’s which appeared in the US from a company called Redline Tuning, called Quick-lift Plus @ $84.95 + $35 freight out of the US = $119.95 US, times the Aust $ exchange rate @ approx .88 = $136 Aust
Product: http://www.redlinetuning.com/QL-MITSU-LANCER-08+.html
Installation Guide: http://www.redlinetuning.com/manuals/QL ... 8+_101.pdf
Operation Video: http://www.redlinetuning.com/qt/Redline ... er_08+.MOV
The person I got mine from a friend Ming Kuang, who owns: GAS STRUTS DIRECT (Sydney) 54-58 Princess Hwy Arncliffe 2205 (a few doors from our wheel sponsor TALEBS)
He is one the largest suppliers in the Sydney CBD, and he’s always on the road doing deliveries and installations so don’t bother visiting the factory.
I’ve just spoken to Ming on the phone and he’s willing to supply the Strut Kit for approx $100, which includes Stainless Steel angled brackets instead of the black mild-steel brackets supplied in the Redline kit.
Download and/or print off the installation guide above, and install with a “little time and patience”. (All you need to add is 4 3/16" pop rivets)
I’m going to see Ming, straight after New Years Day because he wants to double check the strut model and pressure range to confirm stock levels.
"As soon as this is done I will post and inform you all about availability and firm price".
For those of you in Victoria try Australian Gas Springs at Lifteasy at 29 Tower Court Noble Park Vic 3174 on 9769-0288: http://www.lifteasy.com/ . Ofey contacted them back in May.
For those of you in Queensland contact: Hotlance (Dave) he had the other great set-up, maybe he remembers the supplier details.
I dont remember the details about the third set-up, my apologies, perhaps that person can respond.
Happy New Year & Cheers: Sam
