Manxter gas lift springs

Post by dcamomanx »

After The mojave road the Manxter's gas lift springs failed and don't hold the top up anymore. Does anyone where I can find new ones or better ones. Thanks Doran

Doran, I think Bruce or Winnie can get a number for you. Then off to the NAPA store. I also found some at Camping World. Take an old one to compare with. Joe

Doran, Try McMaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.www Bruce was showing me their catalog and it has a wide selection of different kinds of hardware. They are in the LA area. Looking on the web page of their catalog under gas struts shows many different ones, even ones that are stainless steel.
