Hi all,
If possible, I would first try Europa Aircraft. I normally buy parts from
Europa Aircraft.
Karen at EA is very helpful and my orders has been received within one
week.
I think it is very important to support EA as much as possible. They also
sell vital parts
that we cannot find at a general hardware and tool store.
Gas strut:

Part no: GS8699-1
Price: =C2=A347.76
Best regards

Steve, When recently replacing my Garmin SL30 with the 8.33 version, it
called for a crimping tool costing around 600 to crimp the ? High
density mini pins. I borrowed Rowland's 30 version and took some trial
bits along to RGV. They showed me how the wire easily pulled out of the
cheap crimping but not from their expensive one, so it was worth using
the expensive one. They very kindly lent me their spare one but it could
very well be that your nearest avionics set up would at least do you a
set of crimps on likely lengths of wire.
Regards, David

expensive. Has anyone used a more modest crimping tool with success?

Ive got a crimper that appears identical. I got mine from Stein Air in USA <http://www.steinair.com/storedetail.cfm?productid=291>; I dont think LAS stocked it at that time. Stein Air also stock the more expensive one <http://www.steinair.com/storedetail.cfm?productid=300> that needs positioners for each type of contact; it will also do the high-density contacts that the cheaper tool above will not.
Opinions vary! Ive found mine satisfactory for standard D-submin contacts, and
I always give the wires a pull after crimping to assure security. I used it on
my Trig transponder connectors. Tim Houlihan (who has mine on loan at present)
is also satisfied with its performance. However, (Dr) David Joyce borrowed mine
a while back and reported that the crimps he made with it did not pass the
pull test, so he borrowed a much more expensive tool from a professional wiring
shop and was much happier with the results.

Hi Many Thanks.
So they come with 200lbs in them, and you just let the pressure out until it feels
right. If you get it wrong.
Can you re pressurize say using an adaptor and foot pump maybe get up to 70 psi,
the units pressure screw would need to be the sort that allows
air in and seals and locks. as well as letting air out.
Alan

I also just fitted a pair of Trigs to my Europa; I bought them from AirworldUK,
and they supplied pre-wired harnesses FOC. They were very nicely made and properly
screened where required, all in tefzel cable.
I know anothers who bought the harnesses from them separately for a modest cost
(under 100 for both). If the tool costs more than this, it may be worth a phonecall?

You can have them re-pressurised by the original supplier, Industrial Gas
Spring Ltd, 22 Wates Way, Mitcham, Surrey. CR4 4HR. Contact James Godbold
Tel 02086466594 email james@igsltd.co.uk.
Mine were done in 2 weeks for very little cost but delivery was expensive,
as you are closer you could consider picking them up after. They were
recharged to 190N and are fine. By the way they are not pressurised with air
but nitrogen.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for all your replies and I had looked at Stein Air and their
cheaper crimper as several You Tube clips said they were as good at our end
of the market as the more expensive.
If Tim has finished with Rowland's by our Committee meeting could I borrow
them please Rowland?
Regards
Steve

Hi Richard.
I will give them a call on Monday, if they could be done while I Waite, I could
drive up there.
Nitrogen,
Well can you purchase Nitrogen in about the same size as a aerosol paint spray
so as to top up these adjustable gas struts,??

Alan,
They probably won't do it while you wait. I tried that when I had ours done and
they said it was impossible.
