    Hi,

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.

    I am looking for hydraulic gas springs to replace the faulty ones that are currently installed on the doors of my fish tank cabinet. My door is the lift-up type and the gas springs (or hinges) are suppose to hold the door up so that I can clean the tank, feed the fishes etc.

    Anyone has any idea where I can buy gas springs in singapore?

    Some car bonnets and boots are held up with the same type of gas spring contraption, volvo comes into mind, you might wanna check out some part dealers and see if they have anything compatible.

    check out hardware shops in jalan besar and aljunied area.
    Confirm have bought it there once long time ago.
    You need to bring the old hydraulic system for reference as
    most of them have different sizes and have different minimum and maximum force capability.

    Bro go to those scrape car yard and try, especially at sg kadut area, defu lane, woodlands park E( next to the new Car learning centre). you need do leg work to ask around. please bring along your old spring, there should be printed especially the force.
    It must be more or less the same force or else you will have problem closing if too high a force or it cannot even lift up your door if too less 'power'.

    Lengthwise should be the same size.

    Please check that both ends can fix onto your cabinet because those that l mentioned the both ends are the same as bro tawauboy mentioned in RS components site.
