Got mine from RT. Think they were c. £30 each. The trouble is the fibreglass boot spoiler fitted to some of the 400 / 450 models adds a lot of extra weight, which I don't think was accounted for with the original spec. struts, so they get tired quite quickly.

The RT ones which I got had a bleed valve to allow them to be tailored to the weight of the boot. One way only though I think.

Paul.
