Last time I needed to replace a canopy strut (years ago on another glider)
someone suggested using an automotive strut made for the back doors of
cars.
They would obviously be easier to obtain but does anyone have any info re
lengths or strengths of these gas struts? I need it for an LS-8.

Thanks,
Casey


McMaster Carr sells a wide selection of them.
