HHmm, could a pair brought over in a suitcase - see what they are like.
Wouldn't it better to have a longer shock somehow tied up with the top bracket at the front? Making a larger triangle?

i have a set and they are ok. next time i would order the heavier duty struts as the ones we have still need a lot of work to open the roof making hard for my wife to pop the top on her own.

Maybe we could dive down and have a butchers one weekend maybe Joe, and as a return you could perv over the propex instal and our different engine upgrades etc
I know you have your hands full at the moment with the new little un (belive me the first two weeks are the worst
) but we can drive by any weekend and take some snaps of the bits that we might need to get made like. Could workout well
