    Gas spring upgrade

    Today I did an apgrade I have been thinking about for a while. The OEM gas sping is always in the way and it is weak, I have replaced it 4 times during 2 years. Instead I put 2 springs on each side wich does not interfere with the work volume as much. See attachements.

    Re: Gas spring upgrade

    Awesome! I've often thought of doing something similar but hadn't come up with anything yet. Have you got any part numbers for the gas springs?
