Pop top struts
I posted a while ago with some pics asking about identifying a roof so I could get some hydraulic struts. It is a solid sided one. Anyway, the owner is asking again. I don't have the pics now! Does anyone know if they have to be an exact match or would any struts fit?

Thanks Andy,
The problems I, and the owner, have is that the badges/stickers/emblems which identify the roof are no longer in existence, or are painted over!

Meggles,
if you can get the struts off.....measure them for replacemet struts. I found a set of heavy duty adjustable struts on e-bay.....alternatively, send the original struts off to a company and have them re-gassed. (not guaranteed that they will be able to, but a gas strut company might be able to match them.
cheers
