Thanks Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Yoder Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2014 9:32 PM Subject: RE: KIS-List: Gas Struts TR-4 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.

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.
