Hello Tim, What did you do with the steel pipe filled with nitrogen?
What has this to do with the gas filled struts for holding open the KIS TR-1
doors?
Please explain. Thanks.

I was having to replace the original Gas springs every year or two. A fellow
builder told me he recharged his. I found a piece of steel pipe and two end
caps and put a Schrader valve on one end. I put some thick goo on the
threads and filled it compressed air and checked it for leaks, I found some
leaks and tightened the caps more, no leaks. I then filled the pipe with
Nitrogen, from my brothers bottle that he uses to fill the struts on his
Bonanza. It worked great! I haven't had to re fill them in the past three
years.
