Default Cobra Gas Struts

Anyone out there have a source for Cobra trailer gas struts in the US?

The trailer has an aluminum top and holds the Duo stab and wing tips.

Two numbers have been written on the inside of the trailer next to the struts: 455 and 1100.

Thanks

Thanks guys.W+W does have Cobra stock, but the struts they had were 1200N as opposed to the 1100N on my trailer. On a warm day with the stab and tips out the top was very hard to pull down so another 100N wouldn't help. I'll use a friend's unused ASK-21 strut for the month it will take to get two struts from Deutschland via a glider container to Eastern Sailplane.
