Default Gas Strut- SZD-59 Canopy?

Anyone know the specs for the gas strut used on the SZD-59's canopy?
The writing on mine is beyond reading and I would like to replace it
(without paying the $ZD factory price or waiting weeks for the
infos...) since mine is a bit soft.

I've measured the shaft at 8mm and eye to eye being somewhere around
32-35cm (estimated since I didn't undo the wire cable stop that limits
it from opening full range). No idea on the force though...

TIA,
-Paul
