Brian - here=99s what I=99ve got relating to Ted
Gladstone=99s design.
The sketches came from Gerry Cole who wrote:

look round to see if I had a copy of Teds drawing but without success.
However I did find my drawing of the lower pivot point machining needed
to position the bottom end of the gas strut correctly within the stay.
I=99ll attach this in a second email since today Photo Gallery
wants to put everything in a cloud if I try to attach both.

contacting him =93 he may still be in the LAA Edinburgh strut. I
have his address as 19 Southfield Gardens East, Edinburgh EH15 QN, Tel
No 0131 669 7255. He shares (shared?) Europa G-ZTED with Justin Kennedy
which has a number of Ted=99s clever mods.
And now I=99ve discovered another thread from 2014 which points
to:

So we should have looked on the Europa Club website first!
