Default Perfect timing

Life was not smiling on me today. I was using the 2002 Bugeye Wagon as a removal van to get my big kids stuff into their flat. To my surprise both the gas struts let go and I spent the loading and unloading time propping it up with my head.

Are these things expensive? Will I get a good price at a dealer or is there a specialist firm who will sell a pair for a good price?

Any advice appreciated, thanks

They're not cheap. I clouted my n/s one the other day taking a chopped up sofa to the tip

It's a bit wonky and goes stiff on the bent bit but works still
