While still adjusting the doors, I wanted to see if the Door Gas Struts would have any impact on how the doors lay up. I had ordered the Bansbach EasyLift B0N0F50-100-247/135lbs (600N). If they eventually give out I could possibly go up to 157 lbs 700N version, but that would be something to do down the road. Looking at the Van's instructions, it appears that the gas strut on the door side, with the shaft oriented up when extended. However, I checked with Bansbach and they said the shaft should be down. The instructions have you use the Van's WD-1023 Strut Attach Bracket as jig to help plan the location of the brackets. Since I'm using the aftermarket PlaneAround Strut Attach Bracket and had deleted the overhead bracket, I had to fabricate a jig to plan the holes on the cabin top. The PlaneAround bracket is nice because it allows for the McMaster-Carr door seals. The holes for the brackets on the door were fairly straight forward and simple to install per the plans. Since the BansBach Hinge Eye End Fittings were not the stock Van's width, I had to sand the width of the fitting to fit in the PlaneAround bracket and also adjust the bushing length to fit the eye and the bracket. Planearound suggests using a "glob" of resin to secure the cabin top backing plates. I used some JB Weld Marine epoxy adhesive which seemed to work quite well.
