£ 128.00 for 4 delivered I think they do westy struts to.

Hi,

I got my struts from the Samba guy and fitted them last week. Very easy fix (had to drill two holes in roof though , but that's nothing compared to the 16 I had to drill for the roof bar brackets ). The work very well, I had a 2.4m x .9m roof box with awning, chairs & various other camping kit in it, all weighing in at approx 35kgs! I could still lift the roof (just), but I would reccommend maybe emptying a little before doing so again.

been looking at these, i can see that they are 105usd delivered, but did you have to pay any uk duties on top of that?
cheers, lloyd

I had mine delivered to an address in NY then collected them when I was over there .

I am over in NY again on the 29th June, so if you want to order some I can give you a delivery address & bring them back for you

how many can you fit in your bag ?

Matt

Ha ha!! That's a difficult one as I wouldn't want to get stopped at customs. I go over there for work relatively regularly (once a month), so I suspect a couple of sets at a time maybe. I would have to repackage them so it looks like part of the kit that I take over there with me . I wouldn't want to make too much of a habit of it though.

just looked up customs charges, should only be the VAT to pay, which is about £15. So not to bad really, works out £77 to your door

When I get a chance I will post some pics of mine on this thread.

just thought i'd report back. I ended up ordering direct to me. Arrived today, with no interference from customs
nice and easy instructions to follow too. Thanks for the offer mwheatley

Make sure of that! I often import spares for my other hobby, from the US and not only get clobbered by HMRC but also Parcelfarce's 'handling' fee -I've already paid the postage, mind, and their charge is now around 12 quid
