    Very nice. That's on my list to do as well,$50 is about the going rate for replacments that don't say ferrari on them. May have give them a call. Thanks

    I think I remember it said Ferrari as I tossed them in the trash. Damn, who knew they could be re-gassed?

    That's probably going to be the next thing I pull off the car when I put the seats back in.

    Then...back to working on the interior.

    I used Strut Wise (1-888-five -eight - nine-1208) to rebuild the engine lid struts on my 328, preserving the Ferrari logo and other original markings. I was able to drop them off personally, so got to meet and chat with Frank Irvine the owner. Good guy. True enthusiast. Very pleased with the work. Jon

    Thank you for the link. I mistakenly bought from a Ferrari supplier and they (as do most) do not have FERRARI on the strut...which I would absolutely want. So, I won't be using those struts and most likely be repairing my original ones on my show car.
