Yeah, I considered some steel rod with an eye at each end!
The missus vetoed that idea. The gas struts are almost as stiff until you get them moving so should provide a strong, rattle-free solution.
Thanks for the Birthday wishes everyone, by a weird coincidence I had 2 customers in the shop today at the same time, one's was the 24th and the other the 26th! So the 3 of us had never met before and had birthdays on the 3 consecutive days..... spooky.
