Ken, if you can't find this information, a good gas strut (gas spring) manufacturers should be able to tell you how to take the measurements they require to make new struts for you. I take it the original struts don't have any markings on them? They often have a little label with the Nm setting.
I did this some time ago for a V8 Aston bonnet, but it was in Australia so not much point in mentioning the company who made them for me.
This is what they wanted from me;
Length of your gas strut? _____mm
(Measure from the middle of the end to the middle of the other end when fully open)
Diameter of your gas strut shaft? _____mm
(Measure across the shaft that goes in and out)
Strut ends? ______
(Plastic, Metal, Ball Cups, Clevis & Pin)
The weight of the door at the anchor points of the struts. (Use bathroom scales and a stick, place the stick at the anchor point of the door in the open position)
