Devon Moonraker side elevating roof struts
Posted: 12 Oct 2020, 22:41
Hi All,
I have a 1980 T25 Devon Moonraker with the side elevating 'Double Top' roof and my roof struts are a bit 'lazy' so I'm thinking of replacing them. Just Kampers sells replacement units at a reasonable price which are advertised as being for the T25 Moonraker side elevating roof, but they're rated at 500N whereas the ones I've got on there are rated at 450N. I've see a few posts here and in other places concerning damage done to the roof and/or frame as a result of previous owners (it's always previous owners ) fitting struts that are too powerful so I wondered if 50N difference is going to be a problem? Any wisdom gratefully received!
Cheers,
Ian
