Thought I would post photos of my gas strut charger. It holds 4 of my
struts. I could have made it smaller. I couldn't find a replacement for the
kit supplied Supra struts and at 25lbs. they were not strong enough. The
plane was built so I didn't want to change lengths and have to install new
or relocate mounts. This worked well for me but if you can find the correct
Gurdon, that would be simpler.

My bottle doesn't have a gauge and when it is full I think it is less than
2000#.

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

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
