Komet Trailer Struts

[Steve Mason]

Looking for replacement gas struts for a 1982 Komet trailer. Does anyone have info on a suitable replacement strut from a US manufacturer? I can measure the old ones but I don't know the force spec (Pounds or Newtons.

Look to Knott GmbH web site pricy but tha original. Look at. The data plate on the tongue? I had great and timely service in thr damper strut. Also the website has adjustment for brakes. Komet wanted 50 euro more then Knott when they finally got around to repnding

Look at the data plate on the tongue. Knott trailers in Germany is the original mfg of the damper. Great info on adjusting the brakes. Knott GmbH.
