I'm having trouble with the gas spring brackets coming loose or bending
on the bay doors. I was looking at pictures of a 1990 and it has a larger plate between the door and the spring bracket, anybody know the
dimensions of these? Or any other ideas would be great.

i made plates and replaced the mounting hardware on my 90. i used 1/8" aircraft aluminum plates and glued them with jbweld and screwed them as well.
they are all rock solid now (right bill?)

Since Tom was kind enough to give me his leftovers, I can also attest that they do work. I may have to make some additional plates in the future if more hinges start coming loose.
