Tailboard Gas Strut Kit GT>74 Reviews

4.3 Rating 3 Reviews
Read MGOC Spares Reviews

To access the boot floor MGB/C GT or GTV8 owners must first raise a rather cumbersome spare wheel cover (tailboard). Alas the models were not fitted with a prop or stay as standard leaving owners to struggle with the considerable weight of the wooden tailboard to gain access. MGOC Accessories is pleased to offer tailboard lift kits, comprising a pair of gas struts, fittings and simple to follow installation instructions to provide effortless access to the boot floor storage area. Suitable for BGT up to 1974.

Bought this kit to fit on my 73 built but 74 registered BGT but found that my car was fitted with the 2 long board hinges so after a little head scratching and working out found that if you change the 4” measurement to 9” and the 51/2” to 101/2” given in the instructions for the brackets mounted on the board the kit fits and works perfectly. It would be helpful if the instructions could be updated to cover tailboards with the long hinges.

Highly recommend to save head blows when original fittings fail!

A good product but I had to significantly amend some dimensions on the installation sheet.
