Hello all..

I'm after 2 gas bonnett struts and a brown boot luggage blind for my '82 944 Lux...

Anyone help or advise?

Mucho obligato, Mr Rubato

One of my group found that OPC struts are cheaper or as cheap that the independents, with TIPEC discount.
If your local OPC won't give a decent price on them try John Hoskins at OPC Tonbridge 01732 361222 & tell him I sent you.
Luggage blind will be a ring around the breakers or E Bay I think. Why do you need one, if it doesn't retract they are repairable (sometimes ).

Hi Jim

Thanks for the reply - my boot blind doesn't retract anymore - I assume the spring/s has/have gone.

I'll follow up the gas struts advice - many thanks

Regards

Clarks garage has an article on luggage blind repair.
I followed this (im a novice) and fixed mine.

http://www.clarks-garage.com/ Look for garage shop manual and then cargo cover repair.

Alternatively - there is one for sale here: http://forums.tipec.net/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=8016

For the gas struts you can buy these from Eurocarparts for cheap.

I bought mine from Frazerpart Porsche around £25 a pair but I noticed these on eBay £10.50ea and £2.88 PP eBay item ID 300407944250. For the blind I would try to repair it as finding one that works is awkward but as stated before someone on this forum was selling one but blue I think.

hi i have some struts and a brown boot blind if you have no joy

cheers

New bonnet struts are cheap enough at GSF. Got a pair for mine. Beats banging your head every five minutes.
