    Hi Dion
    Have you tried supercrap????
    May be worth a look,should only need to measure both your open and closed lengths.
    In our falcoon wagon and now our Trytoo we make up a brace from wood and just stick it in when open,at least the wind wont slam it down on your head.

    I just bought a set from a strut manufactuer on eBay. Figured they'd be better than the supercrap ones. $54 incl delivery, can't complain!

    I'm 6'8" tall so really want to keep that tailgate up nice and high 8)

    They generally all come from a similar supplier and the Supercrap ones are as good as any other.

    Yep, i was checking them out at the wreckers off an ea-eb i think, took all my 70kgs to close one ! as you said 2 and you would never close it.
    Might be just the thing for the heavy steel rangie bonnet though.
