Cab horseshoe struts.Try these guys!

[ah]

Instead of buying new horseshoe struts from a BMW dealership for my E30 I used this company www.sgs-engineering.com to get them re-gassed and tested,I was very very impressed with the service and the price,£24.09 which includes carriage.I sent them off on Monday morning and I got them back today (wednesday).There was absolutely no sign of them having any work carried out on them other than a re-gas date.I highly recommend these guys.They also stock many new struts at a third of price of a dealership.

when i spoke to them they said they didn't do struts that small.will have to give them another try.

even cheaper fix is to pick up an old front seat, take the back off, and you'll see two struts. Strip these off, and voila - they make a great set of horseshoe struts. Often FOC for those old knackered seats!

Thank you I've been looking for cab boot struts.

That is a very good price for a single pre facelift boot strut.
Ok not OEM, but if they can re- gas originals, it,s a good standby.

Good find ah.

For the boot strut, a Mini one (fresh from the scrappies) has been doing the job in my car for a couple of years. I've got the other one from the same Mini somewhere!
