I purchased my car from TRU this past month (I think; or was it Jan.?) and
am hoping my parts do fine. So far, using only the one because I have the
convertible body build right now, it's working fine. I've had it open
sometimes for days at a time with the cylinder at full compression and it
still extends just fine. Looks like I got the revised parts. So far so
good...

| (...) You shouldn't have any problems with them, even if you purchased it in January. The problem was with a limited number of the first-round cylinders and I'm sure they caught it and cleared it up way before January. Joel (24 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)
