Holden Commodore VB VC Bonnet Boot Gas Strut Conversion Kit Combo 1978-1981 — Nitro Struts

Stop wrestling with that heavy Holden Commodore VB VC Combo bonnet every time you check the oil. This Nitro Struts bonnet gas strut conversion kit replaces the factory prop-rod setup with two purpose-engineered gas struts — giving you one-handed bonnet operation, a clear engine bay, and no more dropped-bonnet headaches.

Installation Notes

Most owners fit a Nitro Struts conversion kit in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. The kit is fully bolt-on — no drilling, no modifications. Park on level ground, follow the included instructions step-by-step, and have a second person support the panel during bracket installation if you can. The factory prop rod can be left in place as a backup or removed entirely once the kit is in.

Why Fit This Kit

• You're sick of fighting with the factory prop rod every service
• The prop rod has slipped and dropped the bonnet on you (or your tools)
• You want clear, hands-free access for engine bay work
• You're upgrading the look and feel of your engine bay
