Gas Struts for engine cover 1999 200
Hi All I would like to replace the gas struts on my 1999 200 engine cover. I can read the information on the side of the strut but can't find the replacement strut from Lift-O-Mat Any ideas on a replacement unit?

You’ll need to pull a few measurements to see if this is the one: https://www.magnusinc.com/1677et.html

Using that link I found this - https://go.skimresources.com/?id=130832 ... %20%5B2%5D
"$29 for the pair.
The Stabilus spec from their website is 26.3" extended, 16.1" compressed, 31.5 lbs force.
The Truck Upfitters spec is 27.5" extended, 15.6" compressed, 38 lbs force."
I ordered a set will see how they work.

They work! I would say they are about the same strength as the originals as only one of ours was shot.
