Engine compartment gas lifts
Hi KP,
I wonder what BB's price will be compared to Orr & Orr. Will check
both places.
I will also use my existing pipe to use as backup so doesn't come
down on me and make me any uglier.

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.
