Can anybody tell me what kind of Lift struts would fit the Kitfox IV doors.  Mine came without and it's rather anoying not being able to keep the doors open. The obvious place to look for them would be the new Kitfox or Sportplanes LLC, but unfortunately my  e-mail requests to 3 different addresses have not been answered. So maybe there is an easier solution from an aftermarket manufacturer.

Thanks

This is what Lowell wrote to me:

 > the original door struts can be obtained from 

http://www.suspa-inc.com/

 > The 50 lb struts are the C16-12104

 > I think for the lighter doors the C16-1088 was the original.



I should also change one of them but ... haven't had time yet.



Cheers,

Michel

I have bought several from KenCon Hardware in Bristol Indiana.  Always found them nice folks to deal with.  Phone:  574 848-5252, Web site: www.kencon.us, Part # for Model IV is GS-35-12.  Fits perfectly and takes about 30 seconds to install.

Also, most RV/Motor home supply stores like Camping World  have a selection of gas struts. Just take your old one in to match  it.
