Re: [DML] Question #2 (NKOB #5939)

Bill,

I personally try to source cheaper cross-referenced parts (mainly because of being in the
UK) but I will strongly recommend a set of gas struts from one of the vendors. When
buying my car, I needed a full set and bought PJ Grady's.

They all have the "brake" in the last inch of travel and all function fantastically. I
have seen X-reffed struts on a friend's bonnet and in his own words "you need a running
jump to close it!"

Spend the money on the gas struts, You won't regret it. IMO the money's not that much
anyway...
