Anyone got Farnell's contact details please - we could do with a new one too!

If enough of us want them, perhaps we could get a job lot and sell them at the Growl???

www.farnell.com not sure how to go to the page but i have a full brochure at the office if you cant find them.

Then do a search for gas springs and it will give examples, but in pairs !

Davis here ! If someone can measure one i can take a look(my Griff is being "Tarakerered"!

Black with ally dash, black leather and Zertec lights and a few other "bits and bobs". Tell me it had its engine in !

[FlipFlopGriff]

David,
It was outside and I didn't notice whether the bonnet was on or off so couldn't tell you.
Only popped in to get a transducer so I can tell how fast we're going. Guess you won't have that problem at the moment.

:0 sorry DAVID

Right had a measure

total Lenght between too ball joints centers is 400mm extended the main body is 230mm long(which is static anyway) and the smaller extending one is 170mm.

Not sure on diameters to be precise.

Dont know which one would be better as the two nearest are 414 and 416 mm long If thats overall length then they wont be far off.

What you recon?

FFG if I order then yeah sure be happy to sell you the other.. Wont be at Hunstanton, but will be happy to post it on if it comes before the GG

BB,
Just bring it to the Growl - not that desperate.

BB, still no Griff so still can not say if they are ok. Something i was thinking of was auto open, ie not having to lift the lid, just gently rising. If the struts like my "big ones" on the chicken coup(sp)(long story) they have adjustable pressure. Still have to press the boot shut though.

[Ballistic Banana]

I got hold of one from another vehicle but it was a bout an inch too long, 550n. Would have popped open nicely like your chicken coup i would think, wasnt adjustable though. And there wasnt enough room on the bracket to drill another hole to make it fit.

may order a pair and see what they are like.

Try these people chaps
www.camloc.com

They made the original gas springs on the Griffith and will make you just about anything (I used to work for them)

They are in Leicester and used to pride themselves on being able to make anything, so a call to their technical department may be worth a shot.
The only downside is they wont be cheap if you are buying something special.

Piece of wood or metal should do the trick
