Part number for canopy gas struts?

Hey all, One of my gas struts for the canopy doors has given up, so the door does not stay open at all (pilot side of course :roll: )

And of course most of the markings on the struts on both doors have worn off... Does anyone have one handy (I'm guessing it's the same as the TSi strut)? I can make out "RS Camloc" and then a partial number "RS V-/30-23 11/14"

I can get a replacement strut locally, but need to let tkem know the pressure of the strut (company mentioned its usually marked on the strut in Nm)

Ahh - I *might* have found it - anyone from #slingsupport able to confirm if these are the right ones? I can just make out a '-979' on the failed strut...

Hi Geoff,
As per your link, this is the correct Gas strut.
