The one I used is: It is a STABILUS Lift-O-Matic. The company is in Gastonia, NC 20052 and the numbers are: 8402QX 0125N 027/03 C 21 BPG2810
Here is the Gas Spring that is the NEW replacement for the one that I got, Used, from the truck topper place. This is the one that I am using on my Canopy door. This is as of 11/19/2003. I have yet to get the new one. It is our part number GSNI-6642. The price for these particular gas springs Is $36.50, and they are currently in stock. If you would like to place an Order, please call us in customer service at (215) 785-4466 Ext. 134. The reason that I send you this, is because you may need it if drilling the hole does not work.

I want to use gas struts for the canopy, I have 2 but the pressure is too high. Apparenty you can increase the pressure but most struts you cannot reduce the pressure. With the struts that you can reduce the presure there is a valve in one end but these do not have the valve. I am thinking of drilling hole & welding in a valve from a vehicle tube has anyone out there tried this & how did you get on. I only want about 10 -20 PSI. Many thanks Robin New Zealand. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
