Diagram ref no 11

This pin is inserted through the mounting bracket of the gas strut or damper and into the mounting point on the lid or hinge assembly. A circlip or cotter pin keeps it in place, allowing the strut to pivot correctly while ensuring secure retention. Without a solid pin, the strut could become loose or detached, compromising lid safety and function.

Over time, the pin can become corroded, bent, worn, or lost due to repeated strut motion, environmental exposure (moisture, road spray), and age. A compromised pin may lead to:
•  The gas strut mounting becoming loose or detached
•  Lid or bonnet not staying open reliably or dropping unexpectedly
•  Increased wear on the strut bracket or hinge due to improper pivoting

Replace when:
• The original pin appears rusted, bent, or its retaining clip is missing
• You’re replacing or servicing the gas strut/damper on the bonnet or engine lid
• You’re restoring the bodywork or hinge/strut assembly and want correct, safe hardware
