    It’s truly a blessing to run across this video. I’ve had the struts in my possession over five years. No hardware came with it. I just ordered the screws from Amazon. I truly appreciate this video.💪🏾👍🏾🙏🏾.

    And I thought I was the first person to do this! Just found this vid. I did the same mod using some struts I happened to have lying around.

      Nice! Do you like them as much as we do?

      @@The2CarGarage Much better than the creaky old spring setup for sure. Trunk lid now opens and closes smoothly and quietly with little noise. A worthwhile mod.

      What are the dimensions of the struts? I want to get some for my beetle but don't have access to Empi parts locally. Thank you

    Hey man ,
    Kevin here from Australia.
    That's a good upgrade it gets rid of those well out of date springs. And i totally agree with the mounting hardware. When everything is done its the small things that make the car.
    See you on the next one stay safe.
    ✌ peace.

    Can you provide details on the Empi gas strut set up (part numbers etc).
    Looking to do something similar on my 1960 Beetle.
    Love your work BTW

    I’m very interested in these, but weight savings is going to to be a big factor are the struts lighter than the whole spring mechanism? Thanks for all your help !!

    Can you provide a part number or length of the strut used? Looking for a 73Superbeetle. Just wondering if its possible.

    If you’re going to do a segment featuring a kit like this how about putting a link for the part in the description. Or at least show the part number in the video so your viewers don’t have to go searching for it.
