This seems to be the most comparable to the original struts supplied by Vans. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:28:51 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: gas strut From: Neil & Sarah Colliver You do know that they can easily be re-filled / re-pressurised. We have a local fire extinguisher company where they simply put one in a bottle & pressurise the bottle overnight. Pick up your re-vitalized strut the next day. Cheap, quick & easy. Or else V expensive, slow & V enjoyable if you bring them to New Zealand! My RV-10 ones haven't need to be done, but we have had car struts done.
