Hi all, I am looking for a bonnet strut (Drivers side) for my RR.

Thanks in advance.

Try these lads - http://www.sgs-engineering.com/

I've got no connection to them, but I've used them twice to have boot struts made to my specification and they've been brilliant.

Thank you for the contact. I hope the one from the WR will do the job, but I will certainly keep these guys in mind for the future.

RR uses hydraulic rams/struts.

85 WR will have a single bonnet stay, unless it has been converted to hydraulic rams, as I did.

(caveat-it's audi. could be all sorts of odd one-offs)

Did the last of the WR not come with bonnet struts?
I stand to be corrected!
