Side Engine Bay door Lift strut? - Wanderman - 06-05-2022

On my passenger side engine access door, the lift/push strut is kaput.

Measuring the length is pretty easy, but the label is worn out. Anyone know the appropriate poundage?

The Label does have a number on it. "2853"

Excellent!
Of course Austin has a new part number .. none in stock. They appear to be around 17.2" long (10.8" retracted) and 20lbs of force.
