Engine bay struts

Anyone selling the 2 struts in the engine bay, the ones that go from the bulkhead to the suspension turrets? Mine are scabby so they must be mint.

I just got 2 off eBay,wasn’t all that expensive,......actualy it’s got me wondering now how many struts are there or how many should there be,I have one each side from the top of the wing to the bonnet but also have fixings in the middle of the bonnet and the hinge,should there be struts on these also which would make 2 struts on each side?

The OP is referring to the tension struts. If you are missing these do not drive your car as they are structural.

Haha,thought he meant the gas struts for keeping the bonnet up,not the braces.

I've got a set. They're not mint mind you, but wouldn't take much work? Could be done then in a colour to suit you? I was going to do them in matt black but since I've bought a 3-point strut.

How badly do you want mint ones. They’re about £100 each new.

I'll get my ones painted if you'll give me £200 squid for them!

I bought a used set from EBay and painted them the same colour as my Zed.
