Does anyone know a local place that can lower the pressure of a tiny gas strut/gas spring damper?

If you know a place that sells these types of dampers, please also suggest - I have found a couple online ones & waiting on a quote from them; hoping to find something local

This damper currently supports something like 100-200lbs. I need it to just support 20lbs.

Have you calculated in the added weight of the hood ornament?

Have you tried Mcmaster?

This one's for another project, but thanks for reminding me - a hood damper would be pretty sweet, too!

Thanks Bobby, I checked and they don't quite have the right specs.

I thinkI may have found something that may work - custom spec off Stabilus site. As long as it's not ridiculous expensive, I should be good.
