I have the original Comet trailer that came with my ASW-20A and the
original gas struts on the trailer. Anyone know where to get
replacement struts (the clamshell is sagging now) without having to
take out a loan to buy new ones from Germany?

Try www.mcmaster.com . They have an excellent range of good quality
gas springs. Their website is easy to navigate and ordering online
is painless.

McMaster is in Atlanta--Cheap and fast.
Read the data off the struts the go to the Mcmaster catalogue for the
required measurements. Search "gas springs" and read the 6 pages to get
educated.

Good luck.

You probalbly will not find an exact replacement for the strut at
McMaster Carr and if they are not exact you will have problems with
the open and or the closing.

The following site can supply exact replacements. Be sure and measure
the extended and retracted lengths and usually the newtons are on the
strut.

Try the Komet Rep...Harold Ennulat (724) 935-5586. I had the same
problem about a year ago and he took good care of me.
