I'm going to give this a go, hopefully better than the bit of pipe I'm currently using to sandwich between the doors

Bloody great idea, I did mine years ago.
Another awesome mod @pollenface Mate is the GU rear barn door aftermarket hinges. Can’t remember where we bought our family wagon ones from (maybe Patrolapart) but they allow the doors to open wider which makes life a breeze with boxes and the like

That hinge is actually just an extension bracket.
Currently on sale at Patrolapart

This was the very first mod I did to my GU when I got it

I’m really stretching my memory now @Cremulator Mate Thinking I might have installed the gas strut awesome mod and hinge extension at the same time
Would installing the gas strut prior to an extension bracket later mod require a readjustment of the the strut once finally opened wider or do you think there’s enough extension left on the Ebay kits?

I haven't installed a gas strut on mine, but I'd say if you did the gas strut first, then fitted the extension bracket the strut extension would probably still work fine.
The instructions also say "Lift up strut so ball stud is touching the middle of the panel on the underside of the door. Make a mark 10 to 20mm towards the body of the car in the middle of the panel. (This is so the strut isn’t fully extended when door is open)"
So you'd have a bit of extension play if you followed that guide, and the extension hinge wouldn't add much more than 10mm I would think.
