    Default Struts for VS Hard lid

    G'Day, Can someone tell me what struts I need for the hard lid type cover on the back [[VS ute] , maybe a part number or strut size? The lid that is on this ute is a honeycomb type lid with a black vinyl cover. The struts are missing so I have nothing to compare and I am not sure how far the lid is supposed to lift up.

    Also I removed the mags today as it needs new tires and was thinking the mags were 8 inch but they are only 7 inch. The side walls on 225,50, 16 tires look a bit rounded compared to the 225,50,16 tires on the 8 inch rims on my VP Senator. With the 7 inch rims would 215 or 205 tires be more suitable. Thanks again.

    Cool, Thanks, Just sent him a message on Ebay. I was not sure if all the lids have the same size/length struts. Best regards and Merry Christmas
