I think it was G-BWKG (Trevor Jackson) who, instead of the gas struts, used two
bits of light alloy angle hinged in the middle and held slightly over-centre
when in the open position by a bit of rubber bungee.  Seemed to work fine and
having to carry the weight of the door when opening wasn't a problem, and not
only did it put no strain at all on the door, it also weighed next to nothing.
