Tailgate Lifters

[chefey]

Hi 

Got my silly head on,  tailgate was not lifting off catch properly when opening, so I put some tap washers in to help spring openers, problem solved. one of the assisters had one of the bayonet tags broken, works but need to get another, what is the correct name for them and where is the best place to acquire one or two of them.

Hey,

 

They're gas struts. You can get them from the traders on here https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/  . All very helpful  .

If you mean the boot poppers (the little part with the spring in) I think @Adrian@TORQEN sells these new or @ZMANALEX might have some pre-owned

Thanks for the replies, when I got my silly head off, I found article telling how to pack the spring loaded poppers with coins or tap washers, 2 washers in each of them and tailgate lifts the right amount, no having to fiddle on with it.

I did the same with mine, It cost me 8p, 2x 2p coins in each  .
