    Both ends of the cost spectrum there Chris ! I like the spring-loaded strut but not at that price ! I'll keep looking but in the mean time continue with my trusty length of dowel.

    The Ferrari 308 strut is not spring loaded Peter.
    It's simply a rod with a ball that makes it go solid. (no gas, no springs)
    'Could probably make one, if I can remember how it worked. I owned one, a while back.

    Well I wasn't gonna deign to comment as this is all too far below me, but if I'm getting a mention then all I can suggest is to either ask this Rod Ball guy, or maybe Malcolm Mc Dowel*, although why an actor should know about Strat boot stuff is beyond me. Although I believe he's got a toy Clockwork one, in Orange.

    * yes I know his name's actually spelled differently :-P
