WWW.cabby-info.com has 2 or 4 part numbers on working struts for the cabbies.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Re:
Thanks - yes this is what's confusing me. The strut doesn't have the attachment point on the rail, and it's not obvious where the other bit bolts to!Briano1234 said

Re: Re:
I've just noticed - if you fold the unattached bit all the way to the frame it's in roughly the same place as the welded on top mount bit on the old frame.mpatts said

Looking at the unconnected bit. There is no sign it's ever been bolted to anything - zero wear. Could it be possible it's never been connected, and the roof has never had gas struts?

personally I have never seen one.
or
Their old frame was bent, twisted and they swapped a hydraulic for a manual.
But if the right side has the post on the rear upright and it doesn't on the left then you are going to have to "fix" it.
I will tell you that you need to look at the one side and compare it to the other as I have never seen a frame with a Extra unused piece that is lounging about.
The Part that I squared, is attached to either the rear bar or the window frame upper. So look on one side and compare it to the other. is my best advice.
You could PM Chortle to get his views on it as he is the UK foremost top installer and has repaired manual as well as hydraulic tops.
