Bonnet gas struts - Range Rover?

[AlexG]

I read somewhere (think it was Sprint mag) that the wedge bonnet struts are actually upper tailgate struts from a Range Rover (original model). Can anyone confirm this? I can get new Rangey ones for £12 each whereas Wedge Automotive want nearly £40! Hmmm - a listing of all the various parts and their origins would certainly be useful.

probobly a bit late this but i used some rover 827 struts off the bonnet, they are the right length and work perfectly, plus they only cost £2 from a scrap yard and there are loads of 827s around
