'I have two F24 gear struts that are history. The shafts will need to be replaced, and the cylinders are rusted through. I believe the fitting ends are salvageable and maybe the seal portions but that is about all that is. Anyone in the club have a gear strut rebuilt lately? Can you recommend anyone for the task?
Thanks
