Hi All,
Does any body have the specs or the name of the manufacturer for the gas
struts that came with the TR-4 to hold the doors open, I wiped my struts
with acetone and that took off all the markings
I installed my brackets to conform with the origal struts but they are
too weak and I cannot find replacement struts have the same overall
length.
Sometime ago there was a mention of a method to recharge the struts and
if somebody could point me in that direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Mike

I did that for my TR-1 struts. I got a steel pipe, 1 1/2" ID I think, long
enough to hold the strut, capped both ends, you have to seal the threads,
drill and tap one cap for a Schrader valve. insert the struts and fill the
tube with Nitrogen. I was able to fit four of my struts in my tube. The
original rating was 25 lbs. and with the refill they came out at 40 lbs and
work much better and last for years.

Tim,
Thanks for you reply, what pressure do you push the nitrogen up to?
