E46 Boot Auto Open

[Scottfreee3]

After changing strut ends, springs and some chopping and changing it looks like I've got the E46 facelift coupe (I'm not sure of the struts are different on pre facelift or saloons) boot to open everytime. It involves springs, bump stops, and 2 different strut ends (4 in total).

The postage makes getting the parts expensive and then you will need to modify the strut ends in order to get the spring to fit and boot to close.

Would there be any interest if I were to make up 20 sets on the forum?

It works out about €60 for the parts alone (before modifications). I'd hope to get enough made to cost that delivered already modified.

Just a though.

Loving this...

How difficult of a mod are we talking?

Its no hard to put together when finished, but needs lots of changes to get working

I have been in contact with the suppliers and the kit works out at €60 delivered (May be an extra cost for the strut modifications - still waiting for final price for changes). If it works out at €70 deliveryed would we have enough interest?



The kit will consist of:



2 sprung bump stops

2 upper strut ends

2 lower strut ends

2 springs



I hope to get 10 made for now - I'll get it working on verts etc. just need some details from you guys.



So who is interested?
