Anyone know an alternative strut than the stock for the 7's bubble doors? Stock struts way too long since the bubble can't go as high up under the wing. Also, is the 50lbs stock strut pressure normal? Seems to put a heck of a lot of strain on the front door hinge.
Thanks,
Wade Greaves

I use 30# by 12" extended for my IV bubble doors. I wouldn't think
the 7 doors would weigh much more. (Of course you can attach much
closer to the hinge with a 50# strut.)

I used (liftomat high pressure 752703 0250N 272/99) or equivalent on my S6 with bubble doors. This part number which I just found in my palm pilot is actually off of the one Danny Melnick used.
