We do NOT recommend replacing the scissor style with the gas struts and alternate ends as it can take quite a lot of experimenting in position, which involves new holes being drilled each time as the opposing forces must be balanced to have correct location when up as well as when down.
The bottom bracket measures 900mm long, and it can lift to a maximum height of 680mm.
When replacing, it is best to replace opposite lifters at the same time, to prevent undue stress which will bend the arms.
CARE - when fitting, insure they are replaced in the same direction as they were i.e. if the fixed corner is on the right, replace it with the fixed corner on the right.
This will vary for each side.
The enlargement shows the bracket closed. The vertical height when closed is 65mm and the width is 55mm. The image shows the mounting holes in the vertical face, and there are also holes in the horizontal faces for alternate mounting.
the product was not in stock at the time of my inquiry. They notified us as soon as it was in stock and delivered promptly. Great that they have product hard to get elsewhere.
Great company to find the special part that other companies don\'t carry. Delivery is always within a few days.
I placed an order for two small parts and received the order as expected. There was a problem as one of the parts was the wrong one from what I ordered. After an email explaining what I’d ordered was different to what I’d received, they sent the missing part to me by express post at no cost. The bonus was I got to keep the wrong part (not that I need it), but at least I didn’t have to go through the bother of returning it. Well done Cravansplus .
