Tail gate gas struts
Can anyone tell me where i would get the correct struts for my car i have ordered a set from ebay which the seller said all calibra's have the same size which is wrong as these one's i have the socket end is to suit 10mm ball end and my car seems to have 13mm ball ends so wont fit (See picture)

If you've invested in these you could contact the seller and find out what car these are for and change the ball ends... maybe look at visiting a breakers.

I thought of that but no one seems to sell m10 thread with 13mm ball end or m10 with 10mm ball end to suit these struts and the breakers was a bust all wrong sizes

Re: Tail gate gas struts
I was looking at this company for mine because I have the big irmy spoiler fitted and the tailgate nearly kills me everytime I'm in the boot.

Unfortunately that's as far as I got because I have other problems with it at the moment.
