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?
If I am asking a stoopid question sorry I just never worked on pop tops before.

You really need the excat rated ones mate or they could be to week(fall down) or too strong(rip rooof off)

This company does a few

There was only a few solid pop tops namely...

Holdsworth villa
autohomes
autosleeper

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

Yeah, that looks to be the way we are going, either that or a hi top!
Thanks for reply

Got some numbers and other detail from the old struts. GS 9011 LTD 0888 Gas Industrial. Did a google and found a manufacturer/suppkier. Sent an email. I will get a reply soon I hope. Anyone want updating on any progress I make?
