Dismantled the seat off of the 8870 here yesterday, and whilst it is generally in excellent condition, the adjustable damper is shot. Got a price of a new one from the main dealers and almost had a heart attack. €450, or €370 if I get it on a stock order. That's an absolutely crazy price. Messicks, a main NH dealer in the USA, have one in stock for approx $220, another example of rip of Ireland in my view.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is anywhere in Ireland, or failing that, the UK who is an agent for Sears seats, so I can get a damper directly from them.
Mchugh do a spurious version here for €60, which is what I will get for the time being, but I wouldn't have much faith in it long term if the door and window struts are anything to go by.
It's the strut S11257 on this page:

They also have the roller bearing kits there too.
Thanks lads!!
