Title: Tailgate gas struts
Post by: bootie on 15 February 2016, 11:51:22

Had a quick search but nowt came up.
Fellow OOFers, I'm looking for a bit of info regarding the tailgate gas struts for the estate.
Can anyine with EPC tell me if they are a carry over from the Carlton or a completely different animal,
reason being, after a bit of searching on ebay the Omega (B) items are considerably cheaper than the Omega (A) (Carlton)!
I need a set of struts for the Carlton and was wondering if I could fit the Omega items (cheaper).
It would be nice to find out they are the same item, as far as I can tell the tailgates are remarkably similar in dimensions.
I would imagine GM would want to re-purpose stock like that?
Anyone help please?
