    It Just wasn't Election day at my house i decided to tackle the Struts i bought a pair off Ebay $20 and some post brackets at Bunnings It was a bit of work but being a Carpenter it was pretty easy as long as you have a 4'' grinder and a Jigsaw and a drill and a file

    Arrived home today and guess what was on the verandah
    The gas Strutts from Russia.
    Dated posted in the 11 /05/ 16.
    They finally came 3 months.
    So I've already installed my own.
    I've been refunded. ??
