basement door strut part number

[Jay Darst]

Does anyone have a part number for the basement compartment doors,
both the large front door(PT40) and the smaller rear compartment(PT40)?

I had replaced the struts on the front compoartment door on the curb
side. The numbers on the gas springs don't jive with anything at Orr &
Orr.

If you have part numbers for these 2 different doors, would appreciate
that information.

Thanks

Jay,


Every strut on my coach is bad. I priced replacements at a local auto parts
store
they were about $40.00 per set.
I use bungie cords to hold them open works great
cost $4.74 for all I needed at Wal Mart. If you want to make something that will
hold them up get you some heavy or thick wall PVC or Copper Pipe and cut it the
length of the extended ram. Unfasten one end of the strut and slide the pipe
over the strut and reattach the strut. If you have it cut to the right length
when you open the door the ram pulls out from the strut and the pipe drops under
the edge of the strut and holds the door open. When you get ready to close the
door push up on the door, push in slightly on the pipe so the strut can slide
down inside the pipe. You only need one pipe per door and put it on the right
side if you are right handed. You will never have to worry about struts again.
I have a more elaborate one on the rear engine access door. I guess it was OE.

Howard, that is what I have on my engine compartment. It has held that heavy
door for years. I'm going to add those pipes to the rest of the lower
compartments. Ernie-83pt40- on my way out of town,again.

Jay,
I did a quick search on the archives and here are some relevant posts:

-------------
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 20:00:24 -0000
From: "ac7880"
Subj: gas struts - help w/ part numbers & source

I located my receipt for the struts.
H9412-35, gas prop - 35 lb (I used these for inside overhead
cabinets), $10.05 each (ordered March 2002).

FBN12G, Gas spring - 90 lb (I used for outside compartments. "Very
Strong" spring, consider replacing in pairs to avoid chancing
warping the door. If they have a lighter pound spring consider
it.) $22.55 each, in March 2002.

Free catalog, part no MH2000/20 .

From: Frederick Leonhardt
Subj: Orr & Orr Door Strut Part Numbers



>From Orr & Orr I used the 35lb strut inside (H9412-35) and the 80lb strut
outside (FBN12E). On the inside units, there's a metal retaining clip that
you have to pry out to release the old strut (new ones pop right in).
On the
outside struts, you can just twist off the old old ones, and pop the new
ones in place. Try to prop open the door with some wood so you don't
have to
hold the door on your head while you try to wrestle the new strut into
place. A paint stirring stick works good for the inside doors; a 2X4
for the
outside doors.

Subj: gas struts

Jay, I have an 86PT40, but have that side door. I don't have the
Stabilus number but the number on my struts is SPO-5200-60A from
Service Parts Distributors, Inc., Bensalen, PA 19020 215.639.7810.
This info is as old as my coach, so it may not be good anymore.
Good luck,
