Good day chaps.

 Anyone have any tips on fixings for the 'reversed'  gas strut.

 Glue and rivit some an ali angle to the door  frame?

 Any special place?

 Any traps to fall into?

 Would this require mod action via  pfa? 

 Thanks

Mike

the best way is to use Ted Dexter's mod, he mounts the gas strut into a 

folding strut so that none of the strut pressure acts on the door. Its 

the most elegant solution for this problem, Andy Draper had it on his 

desk for ages but never got a round tuit unfortunately.

This is the smartest XS I've seen yet.

All,

my mistake, Ted Gladstone is the guy and his strut mod isn't on the web 

site. I've attached it but it may not get thru

Hi! Mike   

Suggest you do the mod. that Ted .Gladstone did, c/w all the aluminium angle it is really a masterpiece and eliminates all distortion loads on the doors.

Hi Graham,

 Perhaps it is Ted Dexter we need, has to be better than the bunch of  muppets we have in the cricket team at the moment?

 Cheers,

 Nev.
