Universal Gas Struts for Heavy Covers

This set supplies two black gas struts rated at 40Lb each to lift and hold bonnets, hatches or compartments on RVs, cars, boats and buses. Metal construction and a 12in extended length give reliable support for medium to heavy panels. The kit includes four screws, four nuts and four gaskets for a complete installation.

Installers Who Need Ready-to-Fit Hardware

The struts suit DIYers and mechanics who want a direct replacement with M8x1.25 threaded ends and 10x6mm mounting holes. Builders requiring a different pressure rating, longer stroke or alternative end fittings should look at other options.

Check Mounting Geometry Before Ordering

Verify that your application matches the 30.5cm extended length, 19cm compressed length, 15mm housing diameter and 6mm rod diameter. Confirm the 10x6mm hole pattern and M8 thread pitch suit the existing brackets on your vehicle.

Questions about this item

What mounting hardware must already be on the hatch or panel for the M8×1.25 threaded rods to bolt on?

The panel needs four holes sized 10 mm by 6 mm to accept the M8×1.25 rods, then you secure each with the supplied nuts and 8 mm ID gaskets.

Will the 30.5 cm extended length and 40 lb force per strut replace the original lift supports on a heavier RV compartment door?

Each strut delivers 40 lb of force at 30.5 cm extended; match that rating and length to the original specs before swapping.

How can I confirm both struts are holding the hatch open at the full 30.5 cm extension after installation?

Open the hatch fully; the rods should stay at 30.5 cm without drifting and the hatch should remain steady hands-free.
