Now I just need new gas struts so look out e-Bay and bank account as here I come shopping for parts

If you haven't found them within a couple of days when I get home, I'll look up the local company where I recently got my struts at a very reasonable price.
ALSO - have you done the mod that keeps the rear upper shut rather than it open at the most inopportune moments - basically changeover of locating points for struts so becomes close orientated rather than open? I have the instructions I can send if not - needs an email address from you as pics make it too big to post here.
