Do you mean the the stop bar gas strut ?

If so then just tighten the bolts at the side with the stop bar out.

We have a few spares and get them welded when they go, as we had a careless trainee who did it a lot

I may try and weld it back together as a temporary fix the new one should be here mid week thanks for the advice

Yes it works fine, I had one fail and living in the exotic island of Moray they took 1 week to deliver. The engineer at redwood told me to play with the bolts till the bar was held out. Obvs you need to know you won't have a stop bar !!
