Z1 Motorsport - Anyone ordering ?
this is a good point also, and yeah it really is that easy. pop one off find a local supplier and take it in say you want one that will do what you want maybe even take the car quite quickly you will have what you want. :) we did some hydraulically operated stainless steel swimming pool covers. we simply spoke to the company they requested the dimensions weight etc and provided the struts.
