  • NSW mk3 Hatch gas struts

    something happened to mine at the panel beater and I know for sure he won't replace them lol..

    anyone got any spares lying around? If they're cheap and cheerful, let me know

    There's a Seat Ibiza and Toledo wrecking @ Pick n Payless Blacktown, I remember lifting the hatch on one of them and it didn't collapse on me so I think there's a set there! The hatch strut should be the same. If not, a Toyota Starlet hatch strut would do the trick also.

      Falcon struts work as well, its just you need to make the appropriate mount/bolt point to make it work really well.

        Falcon struts fit fine, thats what I have in mine at the moment.
        Bought a pair of brand new ones delivered off eBay for about $25.
