Sea-Dog 304 Stainless Gas Lift Ball Stud, 10mm Ball
Sea-Dog 304 Stainless Gas Lift Ball Stud, 10mm Ball — Product description
The Sea-Dog gas lift ball stud is the stainless pivot a gas spring socket snaps onto. It's a 10mm ball on a 5/16 inch-18 threaded shank, machined from 304 stainless so it shrugs off salt spray. The right fix when a hatch strut's mounting stud strips or corrodes.
This is the ball stud end for a gas lift spring, the little pivot the gas strut's socket snaps onto. If you've got a hatch lid, an engine compartment door, or a livewell cover held open by a gas spring, this is the mounting point the strut rides on. When the old one strips or corrodes, you swap in a fresh stud instead of replacing the whole setup.
Sea-Dog machines this one from 304 stainless steel, so it stands up to salt spray and washdowns without rusting out. The ball measures 10mm, the common size for standard gas spring sockets. The threaded shank is 5/16 inch-18 and runs 9/16 inch long, and it comes with a 1/2 inch hex so you can snug it down with a regular wrench.
It's sold as a single stud, so grab two if you're replacing both ends of a strut. Simple part, but it's the kind of thing that keeps a hatch opening and closing the way it should.
