BBQ lid gas strut F42/5 needed'

[zaph]

Hi Eveyone,
I need to replace the gas strut supporting the BBQ lid on my Sealine F42/5, I have tried contacting britboatparts but noone ever responds to email/phone/website requests.
The number printed on the side of the strut is GS61590285 75N 9952 280503

Been trying to get one for some time before the good weather comes (if it ever does!)

Thanks in anticipation.
Zaph

You could try looking at this site, it explains what the figures mean in your printed number, it is a long shot, but it may help you find one the same.Gas strut cross reference chart needed? Let us find your gas strut!

You'll find what you need on Ebay for less than 20 quid. In the number you quoted, 75N is the newton rating. You'll need to know the length.

Thanks PalmaTarga, I'll have a look though I really wanted to get new ones to ensure they were fully pressurised.

Thanks everyone for your help. Britboatparts have now come back to me with an original sealine part so, although more expensive than the other options I have opted for that.

Hope the weather picks up soon to get the steaks grilling again.
Good boating everyone.
