Jim, do like I did give your pod a nosejob and you will have a closet.

Heh ... that task requires finer tolerances than I may be capable of .... On that note, a friend suggested that in future projects I use a metric tape measure and square etc. to get the accuracy that I struggle for when using the fractional complexity of the American measurement system with its eighths, fourths, sixteenths, halves, and three-fourths, etc. (I mean, does anyone else in the world use this cumbersome system?). I meaning hanging on to this system of measurement does not have to be a measure of ones patriotism. So, I'll drink a half-liter of ale to your suggest and think about it.

That would be the 2.54 centimeter worm.

These little pistons don't only hold your door open, it also hold's them shut.

I previously ordered one of these pistons from Amazon (shipped directly from China) to see if it would fit and am finding that it is too large. Sonny, what was your source for the ones that you installed (and their length). They look smaller, but also better than the one that I just received.

Fully extended they are 6" long, got them at Home Depot for 3 or 4 bucks.

When I inquired several weeks ago, our local Home Depot didn't know what I was talking about, even after showing them pictures .... neither did the local Lowes. However, now that I know the length, I can order them from Amazon. The one that I already ordered and received from Amazon is about a foot long, probably too long. Again, thanks for the tip.
