How do!

I'm considering buying some bonnet dampers, but can you remove the old bonnet prop thin bar thing?

Cheers

 

Yes.
Ever done those

you can remove it, however i kept mine on, just incase, ie needed it a few times on dyno days and also i have removed my dampers a few times so it has come in handy

 

Ah crap didnt think about this esp on dyno, when i get back from my hols i'll be tuning an ECU on the car so I'll need the hood to stay up.

Good thinking

 

i have seen some on the dyno without the stand (OEM thing) and the bonnet is very wobbly, its personal choice though

 

It wobbles a wee bit but not much IIRC, i have the wheels strapped in several places.

 

I've got bonnet dampers, the cheap ones from ebay and have dyno'd my car twice, its been perfect. Nothing to worry about

 

sorry i should have said ,dependent on the fan the dyno has it can cause a problem, ie for example, ds automotives seems to be fine and at surrey rolling road a few weeks back their fan is alot more powerfull and some people with struts were having problems

at the end of the day the dampers are only held on by one bolt on the bonnet itself, its personal choice

 

sorry to hijack thread, but whilst on topic of bonnet dampers.... does anyone know if these are fine with aftermarket CF bonnets?
