Upper Tailgate Struts

[HZ1178]

Ok I have found in my opinion a fantastic replacement for the original struts.

I was not completely happy with the VS boot struts (as stated earlier) as they were far too powerful at 510N and did not lift the tailgate anywhere near the correct height, but they did the job for the short term.

I have found the following struts which are perfect for my particular application from Strut Regas in Wagga Wagga.

Strut Length 405mm
Strut Diameter 8mm
Strut extender 10mm
Pressured up to 300N

I have removed the brackets from a pair of original struts by drilling out the rivets. I have used the original brackets to mount them. No drilling extra holes is necessary at all.

Total cost $92 all up, much better than digging around the local wreckers to find a set.

Please PM me for Bruce's details - he is happy to put sets together for us and post direct to your door.

Cheers,

Peter
