gas lift column for office chair

[bulb763]

Seemed like the best place to post this thread.



The plastic liner bit of the column on my chair needs replacing - it failed and now the gas lift (along with the seat) wobbles around inside the column, making it unusable. The plastic liner goes between the "column" and the gas strut in the image above.

I know I could just replace the whole lot with a new seat but that would be such a waste when all it needs is a bit of plastic. Does anyone know of a UK supplier of these parts? I only need the plastic liner, but I gather that they are supplied with the column included. This US place sells what I need but I could almost buy a whole chair for the price of their postage to the UK. I really need the UK equivalent of that business.

If I cant get the liner / column on their own then the next thing would be the whole gas lift assembly, hopefully including what I need.

PS No idea what brand / model of chair it is. ebay special

Its worth doing an Ebay search on gas lift, eg:

Normally a number of items available, but the columns are differing lengths, so measure first!
