Lowell,

This very subject was one of my first discussions with Frank Miller when I 

began repairing N316R.   Your take on the subject is correct except for the 

missing rod diameter.  I was told by Frank that replacing the older 7/8" 

lift struts with the new 1" lifts and adding a 1/4" 4130 carry through rod 

inserted into the carry through tube would provide the increased strength 

for 1200 lb gross.  The 4130 rod I acquired from AircraftSpruce and then I 

threaded each end for 1/4-28 to recieve a washer and Nyloc nut.  I'm not an 

aeronautical engineer so I cannot verify the benefit of this enhancement. 

However I just wanted to confirm your comments.
