Frank,



Go to McMaster-Carr ( mcmaster.com ) and search on â€œstandard gas spring fittingsâ€ to see their selection of gas strut hardware.  



They probably have something you can use.

Hi Graeme. Thanks for the reply. I couldn't copy and paste the image line but is this where Europa but their stock in from? Do you know which ends are for the gas struts we have, as there is plenty to choose. Thanks

Bud Yerly at Custom Flight has beautiful spring ends that lock on to the ball-end posts.

Thanks for the info Graeme.

I have made contact with Chris Lisseman and will arrange to go and see him 

with my gas strut and ball ends to arrange to buy a small stock. Their 

minimum charge is £25 so I would be happy to purchase a small number for 

other members of the Club.

Hi Steve, need to replace one of my gas struts as it no longer supports the door safely, so count me in.

You can have them regassed/serviced. You don't need to buy new. Industrial Gas Springs Ltd someone has put there details in this email.

Hi Steve,



I need to sort out the two on BWUP as they are a little tired so would be up for a pair.

Steve,



Please add two gas struts to the order.   Mine have corroded -  that’s posh

for rusty - and I will replace rather than repressurise and paint.

The service from IGS is excellent, however, a Â£5 per recharge cost turned into  a total cost of Â£34 with the P&P.  Beware of ordering gas filled items as they have to be sent special carriage due to the explosion risk!



I just had mine refilled to prevent the canopy dropping down in the cold weather (obviously they work better in the warm).

I hope to go to IGS tomorrow and will report back on my findings, before 

committing anyone to payment.
