Good news is that I have now ordered a set of the gas struts, so it's all systems go!

For anybody else interested in getting a set of gas struts rated for the ST205 aluminium bonnet the link is:

http://sokietech.com/shop-by-brands/toy ... -hood.html

N.B. I found they're no longer listed on eBay only on the Sokie Tech web site.

They do carbon, black and silver versions.

Another place to possibly get them is here.

Not bought any, but saw they did them when I bought an engine stand.

Good place for lifting stuff as well.

Good find Phil, last time I bought OEM ST205 tailgate gas struts they were a revised part number sourced I think from an Avensis. They weren't as large diameter as the originals so with the extra weight of the WRC wing and riser blocks I wasn't sure if they would be man enough for the job. The seem to be coping but the link does give people a choice. I see they also offer a re-gassing service :)
