It was long time ago.
But I have found a solution.
That strut which you can buy in Germany or Poland can be loaded if the pressure falls. Ventil is on other side which does not need to be modified. Other side needs modification. Must be grinded and microwelded. Effect ist OK. Strut works as you can see on the short clip. Squeaks a little but probably this will cease in time.

I know this is a very old post and topic but I was looking at some R129 parts on one of unofficial EPCs and noticed this
129 066 500SL / AMG 500SL 60 Covering -Ashtray and storage box bottom - Part 104
Its A000 980 7564 and described as a spring Now it may be NLA, it may cost a fortune, it may not fit anyway
but I would be interested to know. I have an early R129 and I dont think its on mine ( or its lost pressure ) so it
may be 96 cars onwards

A0009807564 appears to still be available, $94 list, ~$75 discount.
From the photos, it appears to be quite a bit longer than the 124 shock.

My R129 is a 95 SL500, US spec, dealership few years ago told me that "spring" was temporary unavailable, so I replaced it with Stabilus SG403030, another alternative was made by Atlas, don't remember their part number though...
Regards,

EDIT: Full specs for Stabilus 7.01'' Stabilus sg403030 Lift Support | SG403030-W
Looks massive , I had never seen one in person I was hoping they had used the same for both applications.
I will have to look on my R129 to see if it is there and in fact needs replacing

Has anyone tried this out from this website i looked up the last part number that was “updated” from stabilus that had to be gently modified this one looks to be the same but cheaper alternative. Does anyone have any experience with this website or shall i be the guinea pig.
Nice find! It does look like a Stabilus clone, and will need the same modifications (grinding).AP GASfeder AM.31.110.80N Ausgesch. 110mm, Hub 31mm, Kraft 80N für Armlehne Mittelkonsole Mercedes W124/W126 Alternative für SRST.669233 / G 04 12 0030 1 0110 AS11 AT07 80N

"Note from a customer: It didn't fit right away, though. The mounting eye on the piston rod is screwed on and not welded on as it was originally. This means that the thick part where the rod is screwed in locks onto the panel. I managed to do it anyway by modifying the gas spring and panel. Basically, it works well. The force is right."
Shipping is a flat €27 for smaller quantities, total ~€52 for one shock, about $57 USD at current exchange rates. I'm curious what the quality is like on the clone.

i just tried ordering it. oddly enough the page kicks me back to an empty address page so i emailed them. If they dont ship to the usa i have a private contact i met on the w124 reddit of all places that shipped me a ball joint press from ebay de
fixed!!! its just not a fan of the page translation but part has been ordered
Welp yall. PART IS IN and while im out doing work with the crane company im gunna have the mechanic grind it and weld it. Then just gotta wait to get my cover back with new mb tex and i got new plastic straps as well. I had to jab this into the floor to get it to compress.
