gas struts for BX estate
gas struts for BX estate
Anyone got a pair of rear gas struts lying around for a BX estate ? Hard to find here in germany and expensive. Got a nice lump on my head from that plastic lump of a door

Thanks for reply, where is the scrapyard that you mention? And how can I contact them? Though I live in Germany I am regularly in UK. As the weather is quite mild the struts are holding better , when it was minus the other week they had no guts whatsoever!

Alright Ken!
just got a mail from a guy about some gas struts that he was selling amongst a job lot of BX hoses. That was two weeks ago and he's just come back with the measurements! They seem to be the same length as mine (67cm) and he's in the locale of where I'll be in Middex next week so I'm taking them off him for the starting price of 15p. At these 1950s prices I'm going for it. So I thankyou for your kind offer but hopefully these will do the job. I read your thoughts about the different types so if these are not suitable I will be in touch.
I actually took some more photos today but I'm not wise as how to upload them yet. Thought I would write a proper introduction as I'm a new member and very grateful to have found this club and forum.
I also posted a question in the technical area about diesel particle filters - this is a real tax issue here in Germany, so if you happen to know anything about these or where to find..? Cheers!!!
