Gas Strut for early (1997) Anschau Komet trailer
I'm looking for a resource for a replacement gas strut used to open the trailer top for a early 1997ish Komet Anschau glider trailer. This trailer has the external hinge. I'm hoping to find a suitable replacement from a US supplier.
Thanks for your help. Bill |

McMaster Carr has just about everything. I's be surprised if you couldn't find something suitable. https://www.mcmaster.com/#gas-struts/=1bvbdcz |

American Gas Springs in Oregon will make you a new strut. Just give them the dimensions specs of your existing gas struts. I replaced my struts last summer and the parts cost about $175/each.

Bansbach matched the struts on my early Cobra easily. You need to know the force (in Newtons) but dimensionally, they had a wide selection.

Looks like the strut in the young of the trailer. Damper for braking system.

I'm not completely sure what the problem was, seemed like the closed length may have been too long. Or maybe the newtons too low? 1300kn |
