Ed,
The McMaster Carr gas springs are threaded at both ends as you say but on the very same ordering page are the screw on ends which you can also order. I have McMaster Carr gas springs on the canopy and nose strut for the past five years. You also have the option of ordering higher pressure as someone has already mentioned. When it takes eight years to build your bird, things can get old sitting on the shelf. Never have had any trouble with the gas struts and MC ships the same day.

The Mcm-carr strut is NOT identical (maybe internally). It has threaded rod ends. The Lancair part has eyelet (clevis) ends. How are you guys adapting the threaded rod? Can you weld an eyelet to the rod or would the heat ruin the strut?
