Gas Strut for Kill Tank

I want to fit a gas strut to the lid of the kill tank.

Can anyone tell me who supplies marine grade gas struts around Perth, or even an online seller ?

Cheers

 wanted some for the prado bonnet. Toyota wanted $600 for 2. Got the same struts from ebay for $23 delivered to my door. Just measure the size you want and should be easy to find.

Suzuki wanted $83 for a flasher relay saying it was a genuine Suzuki part even though it is made by Bosch. I paid $28 online. Those dealerships are fkn thieves.

I have had to replace the ice box struts on my Boston. I go to https://www.strutspecialists.com.au/contact. They are located in Osborne park, marine grade, and have worked well. Price was very reasonable from recollection.
