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
