Yes I have seen those threads and they are excellent reading. However the problem is that there's no seal kits available. Obviously someone went to the trouble of making at least a couple of sets at one point yet the source has disappeared. It seems rather odd as I'm sure they'd sell quite a few.
And now we're left having to strip another couple of struts and find someone else who's capable of matching up (or remanufacturing) the seals.
All I can say is it's extremely frustrating. [:(][V]
