    The search function would have brought up exactly what you needed, which was this how to thread:

    Fitting Gas bonnet lifters to a VN

    a little more effort looking next time.

    Also the best way to go about this is new struts which are only 29 bucks :
    HOLDEN COMMODORE VN VP VR VS BONNET GAS STRUTS - eBay, Other, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 01-May-10 18:53:37 AEST)

    and just get the bolts of anything fomr vp to vs i think and follow the how to and you should fine. The wreckers will have the bolts probably charge you ten bucks.

    You should be able to fit VR/VS boot gas struts - I think you need to do some drilling on the hinges to fit them though.

    When I fitted the gas struts to the bonnet on my VN I used bits off a VS.
    Whoever said 'There is no substitute for cubes' had obviously never heard of Jet power
