    Hey Sparky

    Check out Strut Wise https://strutwise.com/

    They're in Canada however, I had them redo my '84 BB512i rear deck struts and they were great! Fast turn around, and they put "a little extra" gas in them. They still work great 3 years later.

    I used them because I wanted to retain the original Ferrari logo on the original struts. If you're looking to do the front deck lid struts (horrible design) don't make them too rigid as it's possible to bend the front deck lid,

    Shipping to Canada was the biggest expense but they offered really good service.

    Hope this helps

    OK..

    I just needed to be sure the Ferrari script was still on the struts for Concours purposes. That's why I had them refilled.

    Best

    Get Mondial trunk struts instead and they will actually hold the hood up. Mine are about 8 or 9 years old and still work great.

    We don't care in a concours about the Ferrari script.

    You can look up the part number on the Stabilus web site. Takes some digging, they are owned by ZF.

    Once you have that, you can get them at Oriellys. I think I paid 48$ for the set.

    if I recall, you need to make sure they have an opening force of 300 nm.

    I think the Mondial supports exceed that, so those should work also.
