“Very shiny product. Very Good function. Very poor instructions... I had to remove both ball fittings from the shaft in order to screw them on the wing and the bonnet hinge. The hinge must also be removed to secure the ball fitting with the nut. A washer must also be added on the upper side of the wing as the existing hole is a little larger than the ball fitting bolt. Take your time and be patient. Drilling and tapping has been mentioned by other reviewers. Very pleased with the outcome of these lifters, adding a classy aspect on the bonnet. Delivery from mx5parts prompt as usual.”

“HiOrdered them Friday dinner...arrived 9.30am the following morning, fantastic delivery, good quality and good total price including P+P.I decided to go against the instructions and NOT drill and tap the bonnet bracket, I thought it would be very difficult, if at all possible, to screw the bonnet ball into the tapped hole and then get the nut on an tightened on the back of the bracket, so I drilled it out 6.2mm as the "old" instructions and then hold and feed the nut down the gap with a plastic tie wrap, small drop of nut lock in the thread and after 2 or 3 attempts to get the nut started and it was sorted, took about 15 minutes from start to finish.Very pleased with the finished job, really opens up the engine bay now the bonnet stay is not there to keep getting in my way.”

“Delivery super quick . Instructions really easy to follow . One word of advice is DO NOT drill hole in bonnet hinge at 6.2mm as stated as this is TOO BIG to TAP . I recommend you use a 5mm or 5.5mm maximum and TAP this with M6 TAP as stated . Well worth fitting and a superb accessorie .”
