Sourcing Replacement Gas Strtuts for my Aftermarket Hard lid

[amckiwi]

My hard lid gas struts are no longer reliable and I have scars to prove it.

I have the aftermarket smooth hard lid.

The struts are STABILUS LIFT-O-MAT brand

Part # 860344 0350N 191/08

Does the part # include the specs of the strut?

Where / how should I replace

TIA

Stu, there are places who recondition yours - apparently quite cheap. Places like Supercheap also stock some.

Stu punch all those details into Mr Google or EvilBay sure something will come up.

I tried that before bothering you guys.

Thanks I went there typing in the part # finds nothing the other way to sort is by vehicle but my hard-lid is not a Holden part

I did send them an email will see what comes from it

Either that or inquire with those mobs that reco/regas them perhaps mate.

Yep, as I suggested earlier, I think your best bet given how hard it seems to find identical new ones is just a mob that reconditions them. Even better, some are mobile.

Google mobile gas strut repairs "Melbourne" (Melbourne in quotes to eliminate any which don't include Melbourne i.e. cut out those only in Sydney etc.)

Update
The supplier got back to me replacement struts $26 courier $22
One recharge place wants $50 + postage for new ones, I think he was to far away to come and re gas
Other regas place not answering the phone at the moment

Further update
Regas on site 77 but recommended replacement at 110-120 commented they do not use cheap Asian crap

Where i work we tend to deal with UES for that sort of thing (i am in the Sheet metal/electrical switchboard industry), you may be able to find one that would suit in the link below.

The struts were $26 each
Not sure why you might quote a single price
Freight costs ended being Aus post (thief's)
Supposed to be 3 days but unlikely in these times
