Hi Trev
Glad you're enjoying the car, it looks good in red.
I also asked SGS for a suitable bonnet strut without knowing the mass. I estimated 50% heavier and 10% longer than the BMW bonnet, and about 20kg heavier at the front end. OEM struts are 750-800N so SGS suggested that 1150N would be suitable replacements using larger diameter rods and cylinders The price (Sept 2015) was £22.99 each plus vat and carriage.
