I meant somewhere were a FL owner has actually bought from, and used with success.

Most of the ones I've tried seem to only just hold a FL bonnet up, possibly originally designed for lighter applications, like PFL...

I find a suitable length of 50mm batten works quite well.  :y                                                                                             ;D

I bought mine from All-German about a year ago.
They were cheap. They arrived quickly. They fit. They worked. They still do.


What else would you like to know?

I have successfully used boot lifters from an astra g on my previous cdx estate. I am just about to replace my gls lifters with astra estate lifters

Makes the bonnet shoot up to the correct position
