RESTO Millennium GTX gas strut

[Robert.GTX]

Anyone know the Newton force rating of my GTX hood strut? Would like to replace it with a stainless one. (Attached picture is just for reference)

200 holds the hood nicely for all those playing at home..

I used an aftermarket hood support on my 2002 and 2003 GTX.

Mine did not have the cover on the support, but a "Strong Arm 4048" worked nicely.

Thanks for the reply... i went the same way.. i can get it gassed to a range of pressures and its stainless so it should last... the original lasted 16 years so can't complain
