Stop wrestling with that heavy Mazda BT-50 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

Excellent service and backup, a small problem with the order but resolved promptly
Totally awesome struts to lift the heavy BT50 bonnet. Easy to fit, 5 minutes, love opening it now! Also great value!
Struts were easy to fit no problems work well.
Nice unit. Stupidly I sat the bonnet on the existing support whilst installing and the struts were too long for the fittings so I attempted to depress them down a number of ways when in fact I only had to lift the bonnet up a bit to get them to fit. Hopefully others won’t be so stupid
Quick delivery, and heavy bonnet now a piece of piss to open, great product
Very happy with the product

Awesome why didn't I get thm when I bought the car piece of piss to fit will recommend to my mates
Watched the youtube video.... instructions supplied not so d good!
Your product is great so simple to install. I wish I had of down earlier.
Perfect for the bonnet, easy kit to install couple of spanners job done in around 10 minutes.
Highly recommend these bonnet struts. Easy to fit, and they lift the bonnet effortlessly and higher than just having the support bar in. Great value for money.
Bloody good service! Should have done it years ago,crook shoulders.
The fitting of these bonnet struts is extremely easy. You need a 13mm socket and a 12mm open end spanner. The brackets provided are well engineered and the instructions are clear. The bonnet will be in a slightly higher position after fitting. Opening and closing the bonnet is much easier after fitting the struts.
Pros:
Easy Installation
Fit nicely
Cons:
When fully extended the gas strut body and metal rod are in contact. There are metal to metal noise.
Overall it works fine, but for how long?
