One of the struts for this canopy has failed so trying to get a replacement.
The ball fitting in to the strut is a nominal 8mm diameter, but when I look on places like eBay they provide fitments like "aa" and "a3a3".
I have searched in vain what these letters signify and drawn a blank.
Does anyone have a definitive reference to these letters and numbers?
No, but I buy gas struts from sgs engineering, they will make them to order, sometimes you send them your old one to swap over end fittings. Very good company, quick turnround too.
Useful link, I have a van ramp that is going to need a new strut when the weather gets cold.
They are very good, and fine price wise, and they can tailor a gas strut to exactly what you need.
Many thanks. Possibly twice the cost of an eBay supplier but I have confidence they are going to supply the right part where the part numbers and description match the existing struts.
2 ordered from them.Thanks again.
they also have a two year guarantee, bet the ebay ones don't :)
To be fair the PayPal guarantee of 6 months does catch most failures.
Perhaps not in this instance, but I am very wary of guarantees and their small print, such it is sometimes better to resort to refunds and repairs under the Sales of Good Act.
