After 25 + years of sterling service, during which period I increasingly resorted to safety wiring the socket ends, they've now become too worn to be considered serviceable. The struts themselves seem as strong as ever, so I'd be happy simply to replace the plastic end sockets, however I'd be equally happy to replace both complete strut assemblies.



Please would any of you kind persons direct me towards a quick stockist of these items, or sell me a pair if you have those in new or nearly new condition.



Many thanks.

I did a quick search on Amazon for ball socket and found these



JINGLINGKJ 10MM Ball Socket M8 Male Screw Bolt M6 Female Thread Detachable Gas Spring Metal Ball Joint Connector with Metal Wire End Fitting Bearing Joint 4pcs (4PCS M6) https://amzn.eu/d/bAe2EZO



Not sure if they are suitable.

Jonathan,



What you require is from SGS, who make the Europa struts, shown on

https://www.sgs-engineering.com/catalog/product/view/id/3220?utm_source=klav

iyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Abandoned%20Cart%3A%20Email%20%231&_kx=MaQ

YMu0z98IUOPPH4KahZ6OgfbuSzC-2D4Hp49B9B2k%3D.PzKG3Q



The struts are now provided with their own wire lock. Because the cost of 2

struts was less than the £50 plus VAT needed for free delivery, I ordered a

pair of long nosed pliers at the same time.



SGS also recharge gas struts, with a quick return service, but my old 1996

struts did not have the wire locks, so I decided to buy the new ones this

summer.



Best regards,



Mike

Jonathan,

 Europa purchased the original struts from Industrial Gas Supplies.

 I replaced mine recently & got metal ends which I found much better.

  

 

  Cheers

This is what Matronics Europa email list is all about. Within a couple of hours I received a clutch of useful answers and so have placed my order for 2 struts before going to bed.



Many thanks to Alan, Mike and James.



Good night,

Jonathan
