--- Quote from: Doug Neal ---I don't see anything that indicates PSI to me. Since I have a 03 Contessa I can't tell you what the psi of the doors are because I don't know the width of them. If you send me the info I can supply the PSI. I also have a web site you can order from on my laptop.

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions.

Doug,

I'm attaching pictures of the 4 doors where I need new gas springs. If you could let me know the PSI per each door, I would appreciate it.  Also, can someone tell where the standard length measurement begins and ends. End to end? Not including the ends?

Thanks all,

Stan

edit: Looks like my dimensions are unreadable. In door # order, 36",50",54", and 53". On the strut...longest = 20-1/2", and inside dim is 18".

Keith Cooper:
the measurement is from the center of each socket (20 inches extended)

Thank you, Keith. Much appreciated.

Doug Neal:
For my doors I use the following, 36"-40PSI 44"- 60PSI 24"-30PSI. Based on what  I have I think you should use 80PSI for your 50"-53" doors. It is not critical as to PSI, but I don't think there is a need to use a higher PSI as it is more strain on the hardware. Hope this helps, if you need more info please post a request.

Stan Simpson:
Thanks so much Doug. I drove to R&P Carriages yesterday as its only 95 miles from home. I bought 3 sets of 80 psi and 4 sets of 60 psi, and will be installing them today. Robin (the R in R&P) gave me a good break on the price due to volume and not having to pay the eBay and PayPal fees.

Thanks all for your help!

Stan

P.S. No more getting conked on the head!!  :)
