WIMPUS Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Quoted from Guppy916- Details as requested Rod Diameter :- 18 mm Cylinder Diameter :- 18 mm Stroke/travel length :- 270 mm Extended length :- 680 mm Force rating :- 390 N End fixings :- Ball sockets for 10 mm diameter ball Thanks for that ! Around the same size as the ones are had. But mine where 200 N.. 390N is nearly twice the force. Going too what im going to do ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martins Stag Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Wim can I suggest if you already have them why don't you try them and see if they work? If not just go back to the orignal until you can get the stronger ones? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
