Default Cobra Gas Struts

Anyone out there have a source for Cobra trailer gas struts in the US?

The trailer has an aluminum top and holds the Duo stab and wing tips.

Two numbers have been written on the inside of the trailer next to the struts: 455 and 1100.

Thanks

I had good luck ordering them directly from Agnes Spindelberger about 5 years ago. My trailer was an aluminum top 1992 vintage.. Price was OK and I had them in less than two weeks. With Euro low now price should be even better. Getting exactly the right length and force was critical. They can help you based on your trailer serial number. I mistakenly reversed the strut and trailer top would not completely close. Email support from Spindelberger solved the problem. Make note of which end attaches to the top and which to the bottom when removing the old one. Consider doing the access hatch up front too.
