Boxstercol Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Or whatever they’re called 😂 Mine are a bit ‘worn’ according to the back of my head, seeing as I now have a lump caused by the bonnet latch. Where’s best place to source new ones? Any recommendations?? Cheers 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Heard good things about https://www.sgs-engineering.com/gas-struts also. The originals lasted maybe 10 years? What are opc quoting for the same part ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Part no 997 511 551 01 if the same as the 986/996 the OE is from Stabilus. Can be got as this or other decent strut brands for well under £20 each. OPC about £40-45 depending on 10% discount or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozen Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 got mine from design911 as far as I remember - they have the OE part and the stabilus versions which are the exact same thing at half the price.] Easy to fit by the way, even I could do it without screwing it up.

I have SGS struts in the roof of the Alfa, about 25% of the price of OEM ones and excellent service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
