Gas springs for compartment doors

[mrkane1952]

Greetings:

Look for the force numbers on yours in the middle of the sequence of digits near
the "F" number: on my exterior Stabilus units a typical example is "1657EE 0500N
307/09 A 5" which is a 500 Newton (metric unit of force) or about 110 lbs unit.

The interior springs on my '87 were replaced by a previous owner with Supra 9"
35lb units. I recently replaced the exterior springs with FBN12K 500 Newton
(~110 lb) Stabilus units from Orr and Orr.
