They do struts for car boots, bonnets, caravans windows ................ anything. They have a specification build page on their web site. Superb service.
^wot they said. The standard struts on my Puma failed because of the weight of the mahoosive spoiler. When I phoned to discuss specs I actually got through to someone who knew what they were talking about. They provided some bespoke struts at a very reasonable price that work perfectly.Andrew

Anybody bought one of their tool storage units? In the sale down from £200+ to £79. Here it is -

I've seen one and it was nothing to write home about. A flimsy item with weak-looking wheels and drawers that flex far too easily. Is it worth £80? - probably, but if it cannot survive with heavy tools on-board then it is less than ideal.

Mine arrived yesterday but the UJ for the valve was in bits in the box. Not entirely sure how that was damaged as was well packaged and one of the pins in the UJ had actually sheered off. SGS customer services have been great and have dispatched another one for exchange tomorrow - fingers crossed this one ok. I always measure a firm by the way they deal with problems rather than how fast they take your money and so far so good.Discovery 4 Landmark ‘16

Me to --- Even with the chassis on axle stands I didn't fancy using this to lift and remove one wheel (stubborn rear bumper removal). The jack head is about the same size a bottle top.

I also have a D2 bottle jack for changing wheels that sits nicely under the wishbone
Must get myself one. Do they fit ok under front and rear wishbones? Defo safer than the supplied jack and only a small amount of lift needed if jacking under wishbones and not chassis Visitor from fullfatrr.com
