bonvo Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 hood damper? Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well, dampers are what the Brits call shock absorbers, so I assume he means those little hydraulic cylinders like they use on hatchbacks on on cars made by GM. Since it's a custom thing, you need to know the length you want. JC Whitney? They seem to have a lot of that bling stuff, some useful, some for looks. For more quality, Summit or the such.

]2eDeYe Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 mcmaster.com Order some dampers sized by you, have them chromed? BTW they are listed as struts there. Quote Link to comment
optimussr20 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 hood dampers, struts all the same thing. Yeah i think i just have to measure and order them to what i want. I was just seeing if anyone has ran this set up and knew what to go with so it would take the guess work out of it. Quote Link to comment

The Dat-side Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Check out philicas19somethings build thread for his 2 door. He has those not sure if they are in his thread. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 They're 'gas struts' and as Doug said, used to help lift and support hatchbacks, hoods and such. Can't tell you what to do but this may take some of the 'guess work' out of it for you. How to lessen the guess work (smart remark) Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yes, that's a strut. It doesn't do any damping. Quote Link to comment
