Strut Question

[dedrekon]

Are Taylorcraft Struts interchangeable?
Are Pre-War and Post-War the same. I ask because I have several struts that I'm going through for my project and there seems to be a pretty healthy variance in weight from one to another.
Assuming they are interchangeable, which I believe as been established on this Forum, what would the effect of these variant weights be?

Re: Strut Question

There are three sizes listed on the plans. The pre-war lower gross wt ships used a lighter ( smaller) rear strut. Big is good with older stuts. I have some smaller rear ones that I would not trust, lightly rusted.
