I ordered one and got four of the gas springs as well. After I ordered them
I discovered buslab's stainless steel OEM style reproduction hinge as they
carried the specific type for my early Vanagon. It looks great and works
perfectly in the original holes. I would like to take a look at installing
a couple of the gas springs on places like the pantry and rear cabinet
doors to keep them open when I want them open and from banging around as I
drive if they are not latched.
