What a nice little unit! I bought a little Durofix Li-ion unit about 4 years ago for the same price at Costco. An RV10 later, it still works great but always wanted EVERYTHING that this little unit from Channel Lock now has. If you are a Costco member, I suggest going for it.

Accommodates McMaster Carr seal. Provides clearance between hinge covers and strut." The McMaster Carr seal got my attention. I have been trying to trim the lip so that the door will close with the McM/Carr seals on. How would it make a difference? John -------- #40572 QB.

The bracket fits over the seal it does not squeeze it. It is also lowered a little bit without changing the geometry so if you have flat hinge covers they don't interfere. -------- Cust. #40936 RV-10 SB Fuselage N801VR reserved Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=312859#312859 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/bracket_161.jpg ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:05:12 PM PST US From: "Bob Leffler" Subject: RE: RV10-List: Re: Door Attach Struts It drops the mount point for the strut down about 1/4" so that it clears the McMaster-Carr door seal. bob -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of johngoodman Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 5:39 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: Door Attach Struts --> I went to his site and noticed this quote: "Nylon door strut attach brackets for RV10.
