Ok guys, mike got back to me, to make it easy i will copy / paste his reply, here it is
Hey mate,
If I remember right the company is called struts direct.
They're dead helpful. You can spec the struts to the force you want. Only thing is it can become hard to close the tailgate if you make the struts too stiff.
They make struts that you can release gas from to adjust the force.
An option (maybe a bit extreme) would be a lexan rear screen. Plastics for performance do them. Would be a great weight saving which is ways a good thing but relatively expensive. £80-100 iirc
Hope that helps
Best,
Mike
So the company is called struts direct,,,, would i pay say £100 for a set of struts that where just right and also adjustable if necc ???? think i would if it meant getting this mod to work correctly - what about you guys ???
