Gas bonnet and boot struts for a GD

I`m just in the process of fitting the bonnet and boot; does anyone know of where or whose struts are the best, or from which make of car.

Daxes are very good and they come with litle stainless brackets which you can either use as they intend or mod to suit. Very reasonably priced as well @ £30 ish a pair. Used them on my RAM and very effective.

Nope, none handy, but I'll get it out the garage and do you some tomorrow (if the tyres haven't gone square ).

Paul,

I used the DAX kit on mine, fitted nicely - if a little pricey! no pics unfortunately as I'm in Germany at the moment.
