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.]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:51:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4864&PID=47357#47357 Finished cabinets : Fully extended they are 6"... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4864&PID=47341#47341 Author: marwayne

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.]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2014 14:17:54 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4864&PID=47337#47337 Finished cabinets : These little pistons don't... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4864&PID=47334#47334 Author: marwayne

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

It all depends what you grow up with. The metric system has it's advantages but I understand a yard and a gallon easier than a meter and a liter. Life is more interesting when we have different ways of thinking even measuring distances. Smile   What would we call the little inch worm!]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2014 04:41:33 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4864&PID=47320#47320 Finished cabinets : Heh ... that task requires finer... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4864&PID=47315#47315 Author: headcold

Hey headcold. If you can resize your pics before uploading it would help. Right now that image is 1500 pixels wide. If you could resize it in somethin to 500 pixels it would be better and might solve the problem. Here's the same image @ 500 pixels wide:

I finished building and installing two cabinets a la Marwayne in my 177.  Pics attached.  Now I just need to figure out a door closure.  Don't look too closely at the cabinet doors.  One is terribly off square .... but then trim covers any number of sins.  Big smile
