Last I checked with venom a few months ago, either they wouldn't post direct (to me in Australia) or they were out of stock. I can't remember which now.

EDIT just read the above comment so they WERE out of stock! Damn

That's annoying!

My lifters are actually ok but all of the retaining clips for the ball ends have been lost over the years so the buggers pop out on a regular basis & the thread on one of the bolts in the bonnet is shot so it's very loose.

Keep at it mate!!

If they are prepared to manufacture then perhaps we could boost the numbers by asking for tailgate lifters too?

Yes but a lot of us have spoilers etc so uprated ones are required otherwise you get droopy boot lid syndrome

Stick Calibra Haubenlifter in Ebay Germany. :wink:

€26.99 including postage to the UK for the first two listed, works out just shy of £22.
