Choosing a gas-prop mounting bracket is about where the ball socket must meet the support—not simply finding a 10 mm ball. RV Designer offers a flat bracket, two angled heights, an offset bracket and a separate ball stud. This chart helps distinguish their geometry and intended role.

These product numbers identify different mounting arrangements. Check the original hardware's flange, fastener position, ball location and gas-spring socket before replacing a bracket.

MPN Component Size or geometry Package type
G815 Flat bracket Flat mounting plate Pair
G825 Angled / L-shaped ¾ in bracket size Pair
G835 Angled / L-shaped 1 in bracket size Pair
G845 Angled, offset ball 1 in ball offset; 1¼ × 1¼ in base Pair
G855 Separate ball stud 10 mm ball; nominal 1¼ in length Stud accessory
Two different measurements on G845: this bracket has a 1-inch offset of its ball position and a base measuring about 1¼ × 1¼ inches. Those are different dimensions, not alternate lengths for the same feature. Compare its three-dimensional mounting arrangement with the original part.

How to select mounting hardware

  1. Select the mounting geometry: flat G815, ¾-inch angled G825, 1-inch angled G835 or the offset G845.
  2. Measure the ball centre: it must align with the existing gas support through the full lift and closing movement.
  3. Compare G845 dimensions: a 1-inch offset and a 1¼-inch-square base are separate reference measurements.
  4. Check the original fasteners: match the hole pattern and choose appropriate mounting hardware for the RV panel structure.
  5. Check the ball stud: G855 replaces a stud, not the entire bracket; verify its attachment and the spring's socket before ordering.

Support the door or hatch before disconnecting a gas spring. Keep your fingers clear of the hinge and replace damaged mounting points before testing the lift.
