Hi folks,

I have an Aerostar which has a very heavy rear hatch and a pretty strong, 
highly stressed pair of struts. They look like they could do the job if 
properly mounted. Their compressed length is 17.5" (measured to the c/l of 
the pivot pins holding them) and their extended length is 24.25" (as 
installed on the Aerostar). There should be plenty of these in your local 
boneyard.
