Here are some dimensions that may help you source them:

Spring ID: ~15mm

Uncompressed Length of 1 Spring: ~85mm

Uncompressed Length of Combined 1.5 Springs: ~130mm

The approximate 130mm length yields approximate full spring compression, also known as fully "stacked", when the hatch is closed.

The ~15mm ID may need some persuasion to thread over the ball end of the hatch strut. Consider wearing gloves and safety glasses during this installation process.

Your results may vary.

Awesome, couldn't find those dimensions elsewhere on the forum. Should be able to find this local, or on McMaster
