Ummm... Can't find them... but looked very close to these...











However mine use ball and socket joints rather than just bolted in place and I left one of the springs in place to make the boot pop up when opened

Thanks ZS !! I'd leave one spring so then the boot is popped it should rise to fully open!! Nice idea with the ram under the shelf. I was looking at doing it the same as the bonnet rams but that is much neater!
