Zinc Plated Mild Steel End Fixings

Ball sockets, studs,
eyelets & clevis forks

We recommend the use of ball studs or ball sockets where possible, as they allow the gas strut to be mounted at an angle. Eyelets require the gas strut to be mounted in-line to prevent side loading and premature failure of the gas strut.

If you require assistance selecting a part please call our technical help line on 01332 226 290.
