Dear Listers,
I was surfing around on the http://www.mykitlog.com recently and saw where someone had installed an hydraulic strut for holding the front baggage door open on the RV-8 similar to what you see on a hatch-back. I'll be darned if I can remember who that was now. I'd like to do something similar and it would be helpful to know the specs and installation points on the strut.
Anyone?

Hey Matt C
I believe what you want can be found on a resources link from vans website. Go to resources links C RV8 C John Huft C the construction C hidden hinges. I did this on my 8 and it works great.

Hi Matt,
I have three brand new gas struts, a 5# and two 10# for sale. I tried the 5# and it was not enough to hold the door up. The heavier struts worked but distorted the door in the closed position. Call me and we can chat.
