Rod,
I figured that the regular black on black will be the one to go for but
since they gave me the option of using stainless I’m passing this info
along.
They will not be too strong. I will make sure they are just right. The
original Stabilus gas struts have a listed force of 1200N or 270 pounds force.
The new struts will offer the same force and the same damping at the end of
travel.
To make sure everything is perfect I will be receiving a set soon. I have
six DeLoreans to test the struts on. I have everything from perfectly aligned
door that works effortlessly, door that was open just a few times since new,
door that was painted and the hinges are rusted to your average door that works
just right. 12 doors in total to test the new gas struts on. I’ll really make
sure they are good before I’ll offer them for sale.

Subject: Re: [DML] New door struts - anyone
interested?
Yes, I am interested as long as they are not "too"strong. I would only be
interested in the black sets at the prices listed. I would rather have three
sets of two for my $150 than one set of two.

Hello
everyone,
I
have come across a company that manufactures high performance and high quality
gas struts. I am talking with them about the possibility of manufacturing a
small batch of new door struts for us. The details are:
The
strut will be the same length both collapsed and extended as the original
Stabilus struts. They will have full dampening at the end of stroke to prevent
door bounce. They will have the same force as original struts - no sagging
doors. They have temperature compensation built in which means that cold
weather should not affect the force as much as it does in the case of regular
gas struts. This doesn't mean that it will maintain the same opening force in
extremely cold weather but the effect should be minimized. They come with full
2 year replacement warranty against defects in manufacturing and
materials.
We
can have the struts in two flavors:
1.
Powder coated black cylinder with black nitrate coated piston.
2.
Brushed 304 stainless cylinder with chrome coated piston.
If
we can get enough people interested the prices will be:
For
black/black gas struts: $30 each or $50 for a set of two with free
shipping
For
304/chrome gas struts: $80 each or $150 for a set of two with free
shipping
Please
let me know if this idea is worth pursuing. In my opinion the price is very
good and the full 2 year replacement warranty is a very good
insurance.
Anyone
interested?
