Now I just have to work out how to get those fasteners undone!

... some progress on getting the fasteners off:

The top ones (attached to the chassis) are roll pins like this:



part #951986 - which should just tap out with a drift.

I'm still struggling with the lower ones, which are called 'swivel pins' and somehow slot in.

I'll think about it during Bob's walk :-)

PS. The bungee idea worked pretty well Dave.

PPS. I'm thinking about using some universal gas struts at about a tenner a pair rather than spending a long time looking for NOS OE items (that may be no good) or aftermarket items (than may not fit).
