supply of 4 gas springs / zylinders for the 2 windshield in cockpit A54


Alexander Hofmann
 

Dear all, 
one of my 4 gas springs / Zylinders which holds the windshield in an open position is leaking. See pic. I only found a very expensive source in NL where the parts are only produced on request, I believe. 
Amel informed that the part is out of production. However my shipyard has received a positive response, the cylinders have to be manufactured and have an estimated delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks. see

273.- € each + VAT
Has anybody already changed the gas springs or knows a good source for purchasing them?
Thanks for any helpful hint!

Hi Alexander,


I bought new pneumatic springs ( different size..) for the engine room hatch here in 2017 at gasveerwinkel.nl


I could not find size information for your current 150nm Airax springs.

They might have an equivalent, just use their configurator:

Do not forget to choose 316 seawater resistant material.


Hope this helps you,

Hi Alexander,
You can try www.norelem.de, I believe the exact product is the following:

26201-0819100X150
GASDRUCKFEDER GR.08/19, EDELSTAHL, F1=150, D=8, D1=19, C=100

Also, I recently had a quote from Amel SAV of 106€ plus tax plus transport. Are they now out of stock?
