Gas strut ball joints?
Anyone know where to get these? I'm after some ball joints for installing some bonnet lifter struts.
Got some in the kit I bought but they're rubbish and welded to a bracket I've changed my mind about.
Preferrably M8 threaded as I want to rivnut them in for a factory look and finish. Just don't know what people call them!
Cheers

Don't think Rose joints will do the right job.
Il'l have to see if I can get some free time to go scrappies. Much easier if I could just buy some and they arrive couple days later but don't know what to call them. I think ball joint is correct but obviously 9/10 ball joints on eBay aren't the kind I'm after :/
