[TR] TR6 trunk lid gas strut conversion!

[TR6Québec]

Okay, the trunk lid at fixation point is about 32 pounds, plus my S-S rack 
at 5.5 pounds so I guess that 40 pounds will do!

I have mesured again the +compressed; dimension at 11.5 inches. I think I 
will try one that I found at NAPA with 20 inches extended and 12 inches 
compressed. With some available braquettes, it will most probably allow for 
a little variation in the dimensions.

I will report back...
