    Gas Spring Mounts (Trunk)

     



    Where can I buy mounting brackets for installing Stabilus gas springs on the trunk lid of my Model A? I need 45 & 90 deg mounts.

    I've tried a few local automotive stores in Rochester, NY and no one sells them.

    Your help is greatly appreciated!

    The free NAPA catalog shows everything you need. It also rates them by strength in lbs. which is very helpfull.
