Back in 2018, there was a group discussion about the installation of a
gas strut to hold open the big port cockpit locker:
https://groups.google.com/g/c320-list/c/M9yejIDOXHs/m/IFpnCXZBCAAJ
According to that discussion, Neil Kornblatt (who did this installation)
was going to publish an article with photos. Does anyone know where I
can find his article, or have Neil's email?
In the 2018 thread, Neil indicated that he used a 40 pound strut that
was 12" compressed and 20" extended. Neil thought that a 60 pound strut
would be better. I can find that strut on Amazon
(tinyurl.com/4zv3auzz), and presumably elsewhere.
What I need are photos or description of how the strut was mounted in
the locker.
Thanks,
Greg
