Great help and they have a good site also. They have the kit for €59 + pp. think it would be possible to fabricate the brackets. Just need a 24” strut with 450 Nm. Back to EBay.

That looks like a good job. Is there anyway you could measure the length of the rod and gas tube separately. Even roughly would be great. There is a tractor supplies not far from me. Thanks for the ideas.

Does anyone have one of those fancy and expensive gas struts on their rear door. Picked up a new Galvanised door but the old stay doesn’t fit. All the bits seem to be available on eBay and I was wondering if it is possible to make up the kit. Just need to know the size of the strut. Both length...

Thanks for the replies. There are no holes in the legs. Haven’t tried it on the roof, I will need both boys and the missus to lift it, also the gutter is filled and I’m reluctant to cut out the filler until I’m sure I can attach it properly. Hopefully try setting it on at the weekend and let you...

My son picked up this heavy galvanised roof rack for our Defender. Great condition but no fixings and no obvious way to fix it to the roof. Anyone got a similar one or have any ideas, please.
