I have 2 different options for the increased lift assist for the 45” Ultrex that I’d like an opinion on. I would offer only one of them to start, but if demand is high enough I could potentially offer both.
Option A: Economy Upgrade
Reuses both of the factory M8 threaded plastic ends for the gas strut
Custom aluminum end mount for cylinder end connection of spring with stainless attachment hardware
Uses plastic spacers for covering of threaded assembly for connection to frame mount
Increases the lift assist force to 1250N (standard spring is 860N, new improved base from MinnKota is 1090 N)
Nonadjustable spring force
10X22 lift spring (10mm shaft x 22 mm cylinder)
Price: $105 + shipping, I’ll cover the paypal fees
Option B: Professional Upgrade
Aluminum M10 cylinder connections with aluminum covering material for all connections
Custom aluminum end mount for cylinder with stainless attachment hardware
Adjustable lift force, initially set at ~1600 N that can be decreased to taste by end user for the perfect lift assist
14x28 lift spring (14mm shaft X 28 mm cylinder)
Tentative price: $150 + shipping, I’ll cover paypal fees. (Still waiting on volume pricing for adjustable cylinder)
I’ll be working on the 3D models for the attachment brackets this weekend and hope to start making some chips fly on Sunday.
Which option do you guys want first?
