They have the same hole geometry it is just that the strut attach point is lower. This means that those of you who have clearance issues with the door (like me) can avoid having to cut a clearance hole in the top of the door. I wish I had these sooner as I cut clearance holes into my doors last June. I just repatched them today now that I have Sean's brackets. As much as I hate fiberglass, it sure is forgiving. Cheers Les #40643 _____ From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Les Kearney Sent: September-13-10 7:12 PM Subject: RV10-List: Door Attach Struts Hi At KOSH I picked up a couple of door attach struts from Sean ( www.planearound.com). I did the retrofit recently and the hanger consensus was they look far superior to the the steel brackets from Vans. The retrofit only required a small adjustment to one hole that I didn't drill exactly perpendicular when installing the original brackets. They can be found at http://www.planearound.com/DOOR-STRUT-ATTACH-BRACKETS-DS2.htm Cheers Les #40643 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
