Default Door struts

Hi

The stock door struts will not hold the doors open any longer. I am considering getting the heavy duty ones. I sent them an email but did not receive a return yet. I just checked vans site and it shows 600N HEAVY DOOR STRUT C-1016 HD for $110. Is that for each or for the pair?

I used the 600N heavy duty struts from Bansbach Easylift (http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...598#post595598
) at $63 each.

They are a little different in the mount so if you are using the planearound strut braces for the McMaster seal, we are working on a solution. If you are using the standard Vans struct brackets than they are a near drop in replacement.

I just ordered the 600N heavy duty struts from Bansbach Easylift. They are going for $48.89. I will give them a try and will post the outcome here.
Thank you all.

I remember them being ~$63 from several months ago too. Is that a difference between the Brazilian real and the US dollar as compared to the euro? I don't keep up on things like that.

Otherwise, Moura, I hope you ordered the correct part.

Best,

-Jim
