Hello, check the Yahoo Dandy Group for my plans for fitting them based on scrap tailgate lifts from 2 x Rover 25s. Cost - £10 plus a bit of garage engineering that a couple of bottles of wine will get you done by someone with a welding set. Two on each bed are best, one will help turn the bed over, but they do put a bit of strain ion the hinges. I STRONGLY RECCOMEND drilling out the Aluminium bed hinge pop-rivets & replacing them with Stainless Steel ones. Mine sheared on one corner wrecking the plywood bed base whilst in France during May this year. Fine once repaired, but this could have been much worse.

Steve.

The Destiny or 6 has gas struts to support the side walls and not to help open the beds. I changed the ones on my 93 Destiny recently and used Camloc in Leicester. their web page seems to have changed and doesn't give prices any more.
