Guys,
Kim Prout and I discussed the same and we have a US manufacturer that
will refill the struts. We need 45 lbs normally as we are now using a
thicker window which is heavier than the original glass.
I will be talking to Kim when he gets back next week and will arrange
for the first set to get Nitrogen refills. We'll test and report back
to the group.
I too have looked for replacement struts, and off the shelf does not
work quite right. I'm lazy, I don't want to have to move my fittings.
Regards,
Bud

Subject: Europa-List: Gas Springs
Paul,
I am in the same situation as you. I tried McMaster to no avial.
They have some that are close but not quite the same, and I don't want
to relocate mounting brackets. I have been told that Europa supplied
gas springs can be recharged. I did notice that there is a schrader
valve, so maybe they can be recharged with nitrogen. I need to take a
closer look when I get some time.

Hi All,
My gas springs don't seem to be able to hold the doors up these days
and I
need to replace them. I was wondering if anyone happens to know of an
equivalent gas spring that can be sourced in the US.
The Europa supplied gas spring is made by Industrial Customline in the
UK
with a p/n of GS8699-1. There WEB site does not give me any clue as
to the
specifications of the spring so I haven't been able to cross reference
it.
Thanks - Paul
