Hey everybody:
I have a silly trunk gas-spring question about my 1971 164.
My trunk gas-springs are shot (typical on a 47 year old car...)
Lots of people sell them, and I was looking at Scandix to order them as part of a larger order.
They have the gas-springs,

These do not come with the end fitting,

Apparently you need one per side to attach the spring to the car. These are also not particularly expensive at around $30 each, but they are almost as expensive as the gas-springs.
I went over to the storage unit where the car is stored, and there is almost two feet of snow preventing me from actually opening the door at the storage unit and looking at it. I want to get this order on the way, so I thought I would ask here, can the yokes from my existing springs be removed and used with the new gas-springs, or should I just go ahead and order them?
Cheers!
