Kicker gas strut

Head’s up boys save some money
I recently needed to replace my kicker gas strut on my Bavaria 38. A quote from Selden was 525 pounds. I almost fell off my chair, I noticed on the forum sgs engineering mentioned they supplied the same item for 66 pounds delivered.
The only difference was theirs was 1inch longer not a problem just cut 1 inch off the internal tube.

Good luck with them.  I made the mistake of buying a strut from them which arrived broken.  A long string of emails, phone calls and written letter threatening small claims court action went unanswered other than an occasional request for pictures of the broken strut.

Not my experience, found them good to deal with.

Bought mine from SGS too, GS14-27-250-300 with 1200N force. Perfect fit.

They did mix up the address: The Italian marina's street address is "Corso Argentina" and tracking showed the item was being shipped to the country Argentina instead of Italy. I contacted SGS and they corrected it in transit, which caused some delays but I eventually received the item.

Apart from the adressing mistake, they were easy to contact, polite and got it sorted out. Quality is good. Probably would use again. Also paid 60 quid with shipping to Italy (before Brexaster).
