(Larry Bowen) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:10:08 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV8-List: Hydraulic Strut For RV-8 Baggage Door... Dear Listers, I was surfing around on the http://www.mykitlog.com recently and saw where someone had installed an hydraulic strut for holding the front baggage door open on the RV-8 similar to what you see on a hatch-back. I'll be darned if I can remember who that was now. I'd like to do something similar and it would be helpful to know the specs and installation points on the strut. Anyone?
