Does anyone else have problems with the McLeod bolsters staying up? I called for the replacement cylinder and spring and she wanted $400 for it. If anyone else may have an alternative please advise.

gracias

I had a 92' 271 and had to have the cylinder rebuilt by the company that used to supply McCleod these cylinders. I think it was P. L. Porter and they are located in California. Looking at my old notes, I believe the phone number is 818-884-7260. These air assist cylinders were used in commerical jets. I believe it cost about $150.00 to get the cylinder rebuilt.

Thanks jkelly.......i will try that out.

I am switching mine out to power. Looks like it will cost about 100-150 per side. I am simply placing a linear actuator in place of the shock spring thingy and swapping out the button for a switch.

Mine were not holding and I check the cable.It turned out that the cable was not relaxed and still held the pin in to let the cylinder to leak down.Look in to that.My 2 cents.

At least she returned your calls! I have called and emailed Stephanie 4 times with no response yet (since the middle of January)!

I need on for mine as well, Glencove at LOTO had one last year. Problem is, I think the whole seat has to come apart to replace it.

Tell me more about the swap to an actuator?

sometimes its the Button on the seat that is sticking and letting the cylinder leak down ....m

any pic? we may have the parts you need in stock

Shes back now,theve cut back there hours and laid off a bunch.try her again,.I got her all last week
