Thanks Neils88. You are correct that typically, the weight will vary based on the builders' choices. Appreciate the formula.

I forget what mine are, somewhere around 200lb for now. They were really just temporary ones until I finish the doors and can measure the final door weight. They'll get pretty heavy with all the interior parts. Your door weight could be quite different from other builds, so best to measure them.

I'm sure you know the procedure to determine what shock is needed, but I'll post it here for others that don't.

1. Using a "hanging luggage scale", measure the weight of your door from the latch (W1)
2. Measure the distance from the latch to the pivot point of the door hinge (L1)
3. Measure the distance from the gas shock attachment point (on the door) to the pivot point of the door hinge (L2)
4. Calculate the gas shock force required using the formula:

  W2=(L1)(W1)/(L2)

W2 is the force required for the shock to "hold" the door in place.

5. Add 10-15% to ensure the shock will lift and hold the door, without it being too hard to close, or slamming up to hard.

Nice start to your build.

I have a couple of OEM parts (well fiberglass copies if you are interested).

I have the moveable "batwings" left and right sides and both sides of the coupe version of the filler panel between the moveable batwing and roof. I can post photos if interested.

FYI, would you be willing to pull a mold of the transition area where the roof wraps around to the side? Its the area between the roof and the door/rear side glass. My roof section did not have this area done properly. Also is that fuel tank any good?

Dale,

I have a set of OEM Aventador door shocks that I could measure the length, if that would help. Not sure what the spring rate is in these though.
