Hood/Trunk Strut Kits


BK02M5

Recommended Posts

Price: $340
Location: Florida


Description:

After good feedback on my car's hood/trunk strut setup, I decided to create a kit for others to add to their 02s.   Just completed a small production run of brackets that have been packaged into a kit which includes four struts, 8 brackets, and all stainless steel hardware. This is a bolt on kit using the original mounts with a few extra holes that need to be drilled in the fender and rear 1/4 panel support brace for added fasteners. There is a picture of the kit below and pictures of each bracket installed on hood/trunk/fender/quarter panel.   We made two additional prototype kits that were also installed on other 2002s with good success.  Instructions are included with the kit.  Price is $340 including shipping to the continental US.   Reply with any questions.   Thanks for viewing this ad.

Can you show a pick with the hood and trunk open.  Does it affect the angle of the hood and trunk when it is open?. 

 

Dudeland,

It's fairly close to stock.  I have one 02 with the kit and 1 without so I"ll take pics tomorrow and post.

Cool. I think that would help people.  Also the weight savings would be helpful as well.  Also folks that have carbon fibre or fiberglass hoods and trunks may find this kit very useful as the ones that I have seen do not have any accommodations for hood props.

More pictures provided comparing a stock torsion bar setup to this hood/trunk strut kit.   It was designed to keep full open angle as close as possible to stock as you can see.  Pictures of the full open hood and trunk are shown so you can see the entire setup installed.

We still have a few kits for sale.   Some have asked if front and rear kits are available separately.    Front hood kit is $180 shipped in US.  Rear deck lid kit is $170 shipped in US.

I do have two kits available from the last production run.   Don't have plans to make any more.  Will discount to $300 shipped.  There are no front only kits right now.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
