 Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 5:56 pm Post subject: Door Strut Kit |
 |
|
I am getting ready to install a door strut kit on my model II. I was hoping to get some pictures and measurements from someone to simplify my installation. Does anyone have some pic's and measurement I could use? I am also interested in a possible back of door installation. Does anyone have pictures etc for this?
Thanks,

I have a model II with door struts and would be glad to help if you like. I will have to take a couple of pictures and do some measuring. I will try to get it done tomorrow for you.

I have some information now. Pictures later. First is the geometry. Note that my struts are at the back of the door. The upper attachment is 5.16" out the door, the lower is 13.66" down the frame tube. (Both measured from the pivot centerline.) The strut centerline is offset 1 5/16" from the tube's centerlines. The gas strut is 8.5" long closed, 12" long fully extended, with a 4" throw.

These are drawings of my strut attachments. I bought the tabs and balls from Guden and welded them to pieces of tube which were then pop-riveted to the airframe and door frame. The pictures show the tabs and struts bought from Guden.

I don't have any more pictures, for some reason, but will try to remember to take some tomorrow.

Bryan,
if you need any other pictures or measurements, let me know. I have them on my model II as well.
