Engine compartment gas lifts

[KP Marsh]

Hi Bob,

We also had to replace our gas lifts for the rear deck of our 89 PT 40.
I called Earl at BB and he sent me replacements that work perfectly. Expensive,
but now I don't have to use Vice Grips to keep the Very Heavy rear deck.
Instillation was a bit of a b****h, had to prop up the deck with a 2x4 while I
RnR the old units. I have no idea of the weight rating, but I know the new ones
are identical to the originals. Worth every cent. We also replaced the lifts in
the battery bay and all the lifts in our interior living room compartments.

Hi group,
I just installed Orr & Orr's 80 lb each gas lifts and it didn't make
any difference. Geeze...how heavy is this rear hatch?
Before I blow another $25 bucks, can anybody tell me how heavy the
lifts need to be 100 lbs? 150 lbs? each?
