Nice!  My EVC had gas springs for the kitchen lid, and I've often thought
about that mod. But I've since found a source for stainless steel versions
of the OEM type prop. Oh well.

Subject: Another strut use.

Coincidentally to the recent hatch strut discussion, today I got another one
of my Chinese mail deliveries.

I'm totally hooked on small purchase from banggood. I mean, it's not like
everything is great but the expense is small and many of the things turn out
pretty damn good,

This package was 4 short gas charged struts. I used one of them this
afternoon to finally replace the broken leg type support on the kitchen unit
lid.
