Thanks to Kelly Bauman's forwarded instructions, I picked up a 10'
section of 1/2" PVC pipe yesterday to make some of these hatch strut
supports.  The hatch on our '87 is not quite ready to give out, but
they sag after a few minutes in the cold.

BTW, I did say 1/2" since Kelly mentioned that 3/4" (from the
original instructions) is probably overkill.

I'll have a few extras to throw in the van, so if you see us at LiMBO
events or whatever, hit me up for a set.  :-)
