Wise advice, but the company I've contacted make OEM struts for the car industry as well as those used on boats and planes. If they say they have one that works I'd like to think it will. As I said, I'm hoping for an off the shelf solution, because whilst the company could provide a bespoke strut it's likely to be expensive especially in the small quantities we require.
I've estimated the mass of the SWB bonnet as 75% greater than the Z3. Any chance you could weigh both and post the results?
