I ordered a gas strut for a fixed panel ASW-20, the new 700N strut does not fit. The new strut has a shorter distance from the bolt hole to the shoulder of the cylinder.



Any suggestion where I can get one that fits.



Thank You,

its charge. You will need to modify the screw in, rod tip, or you can

just use the old one.

Yep, a good trick is to leave the forward rod-end in place and just unscrew the strut shaft with vice-grips, then remove the rod-end from the new strut and screw it into the old forward fitting.
