Re: Heated Door Struts?

["David Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

This should not be all that far-fetched. They have used these on 
minivan tailgates for years. Without torsion bars, and that's one 
heavy door. The only thing I can think of that may cause a problem 
with this is that the struts on the DeLorean are relatively short, 
i.e. not much room to work in. The struts on a Chrysler minivan, by 
comparison, are the same diameter but at least twice the length. The 
temperature compensation of these is excellent, they work the same no 
matter what the temperature and, in my case, have been doing so for 
six years. Too bad they won't fit the DMC. 

Something for the vendors to toss at whomever is making the door 
struts.
