Has anyone found an alternative to the discontinued/unavailable Mitsubishi hatch struts ?   Like perhaps maybe struts for another vehicle that might contain the electrical contacts... or not and tried to somehow secure those contact blocks onto a new strut.

had this in my car, worked well, really shortens the throw, and has a short upper shaft as well. way shorter than stock. ive had this a few years.   looking for 75 shipped..   http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/Parts%20For%20Sale/7904FB12-2D10-4F7B-813E-9162EFA4C6F1-64261-0000277F9383FE5F_zpseb3e83a9.jpg   http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/Parts%20For%20Sale/9EA8A18B-E7DA-40F6-848F-1E0726F3F4EB-64261-0000277F99B37A5E_zpsa167c019.jpg
