saflyer Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Somewhere, on some forum there was at least one thread about replacing the entry door scissor hinge with a piston product. I've searched several forums including this one and can't find it. Can anyone steer me to the thread or possibly a file on the subject? Thanks, Ed '05 HR Ambassador Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture a bunch of holes in the door and/or frame. Ed BTW, Lippert apparently is offering their friction door hinges for the aftermarket (I may have read that on this forum). Nothing much on their website about it. I’ve got a request in to them for more information. Ed ‘05 HR Ambassador Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas1655 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I did this to my Camelot. I was concerned about the placement of the ball joints so I got some Gorilla double stick tape and put them where I thought they should go and then fitted the ram, then changed the placement until everything lined up and the door opened and closed correctly. Then screwed it all in place. Very nice addition. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
