Baggage Door Spring

January 8th, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments

Someone was asking about gas springs for baggage doors recently on one of the lists. Here’s my installation. It has a five pound extension force and about 8.25″ extended length. I’m happy with how it turned out. Look for part number 9417K5 at McMaster-Carr.  Also, that’s Koolmat on the firewall. It helps with the noise and the heat.

    Thanks for a nice site. Will look for the hold-open spring and the koolmat. Bill
