That's exactly the kind of more detailed thinking that we need. Thanks for putting it up, Rick. Before anybody even thinks of going anywhere with the idea, we need a lot more of this. I'll make a few more sketches, with your comments in mind, and see if anything looks even a bit do-able. Not that I intend do do anything like it, but it is fun to think about. Yes, I've got to do something about the very high initial lift load for the front shell of my TM. And no, I can't weld either.
It occurred to me that a gas strut arrangement such as we are thinking about would put the strut out in the road grime and weather. I'm not sure that is a good idea ...
