are they something that is found on a car......or are they a custom strut.....?

wreckers will have used ones......repco etc will have new ones......

if you have a set that has lost its strength....they can be re-gassed.....at around half the replacement cost.....

There's a mob that advertise in the NRMA mag "The Open Road" - well, they used to. I haven't read the mag for years even though we get it every month.

I think Universal Engineering Supplies in Malaga may be able to help, they stock all sorts of body building hardware.

There's a mob that advertise in the NRMA mag "The Open Road" - well, they used to.

They're still advertising in the back pages of the magazine - Strut Re-gas.

They do new and reconditioned struts as well as made to measure, however, as of now they have franchises in all states bar WA.
