Not sure why you are being so curt about this Andy but the second piccy is my MK2 96 TZD, they are the same as the MK1, as stated it is the other end that attaches to the body that snaps on and off!

Well bud, it isnt the same as a MK 2 saloon, in particular to the ones i have. All i need is what you have. Not the same as the 2 Mk 1s i have here.the snap on jobbies just wont work, i need whats on the 2 piccies so far on this thread. The ends of the sruts aint the same, however, ile go get the torch and look at Corries struts now.

May have got this partially wrong guys and if i have i appologise.
I need the top end strut pins which need the pins but they dont have the snap on jobbies where they attach to the vehicle body. I only have MK2 Estates to go by here.
If all MK 2 saloons have this system then there i hope will be a few around.
And Kev, i can assure you, ime not trying to be curt about this at all as i thought these would be really scarce items from a MK 1. Please accept my appologies if i came across badly as it was only my intention to ask about the right thing as i didnt know what the things were called properly.
I only hope someone has got a set.
MK 1 struts dont have snap ons either end.

Kevan,
just bumping this as i wonder if you have a spare set of the MK1 strut holder, clips etc?
Also, would you have a set of tailgate struts for a MK 1 as ime starting to work on Mollie[Corrie name change].
Fitted an exhaust and so now sounds much better.

Sorry Andy I thought my spare tailgate had struts on but when I checked it hadn't.

Andy, according to this site they supply new MK1 strutts and all new strutts come with ''new fixings''. May be worth giving them a ring to see if this includes the sqaure spring clips?

Malcolm, those links don't appear to be working again, may be old out of date pages although you can still get to them from the main page but they ALL say ''with new end fixings'' when you open up the 'more details' link in each?

Andy, let me know if you have any luck with the pin and clips, I've got some here. I took them off a couple of weeks ago for you but I thought you'd found some. The struts themselves shouldn't be hard to find. There's a place in Strasbourg that is like 'Strutworld' - they live for struts!

Hi Todd,

i have ordered a set of tailgate strutts, the guy was very comprehensive in his questionong of me to ensure i got the correct strut which well impressed me but they dont do the pins and clips. They do have both Mk 1 and 2 struts.

If you could let me have your pins and clips, i would be forever grateful. Let me know what i owe you. Ile pm you shortly.

Many thanks,

Andy
