If you're not worried about being able to adjust the height, and simply want to stop it sinking below a certain level, you can put something round the extending strut to stop it being compressed. If you can remove the end fitting, you can slide a length of metal tube of a suitable diameter over it. Otherwise you could split a piece of tube lengthways and clamp the two halves round the shaft. Replacing the whole thing could be pretty difficult, even if you can get a replacement. The bottom end has a taper which fits into a tapered hole in the spider which holds the wheels. In my experience, it's virtually impossible to separate the taper once the chair has been sat on for a while. I have used considerable violence on some of my chairs, to no avail! -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..
