Plus the connectors used on the struts are called Voss , ( also fitted to the valve blocks ) outrageous at £15.00 each, very awkward to fit on top of the struts , as they are compression fittings with a small olive , I used brass pushfits on mine , considerably easier to fit and only £4.00

ur so welcome and always happy to help where I can

when I got my struts for the D3 they didn’t come with any connectors or nuts , so had to buy them, did get stainless steel nuts for the top and also the brass pushfits

with the front struts removed it gave me chance to finish off the hidden areas with Dinitrol

slowly getting back on my feet but just got to take it easy , like wise hope all is well

Stop it, your killing me

What polish is it your using?
It scares me to attack mine as I don't want to ruin the paint. It's full of scratches from off roading.
