<P>My hard point(s) are all inside the beam & I use the newer system for the gas spring (in the middle of the door). No problem, but I did have to spend some time trial fitting the beam/gas spring prior to mounting.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>about that hard point- I spoke with Brendon at the factory about that,
<DIV></DIV>>because I spent a lot of time fabricating 2 that would fit nicely inside the
<DIV></DIV>>beams, and I wanted the exact spot for placement, but he said that they
<DIV></DIV>>really need to go on the outside of the beam because when the door closes,
<DIV></DIV>>the gas spring moves across the corner, and it needs to stick out away from
<DIV></DIV>>the beam a bit to clear- if anyone has put them internally let me know,
<DIV></DIV>>because I have not quite done it yet, and would prefer (aesthetically) to
<DIV></DIV>>put them inside the beams.

<DIV></DIV>>I don't no if your plans are different than mine but you might want to
<DIV></DIV>>look at where the door strut attaches . The new style attaches higher on
<DIV></DIV>>the beam so you may want to but a hard point in that area also before
<DIV></DIV>>you attach it to the plane.
