Where a strut end simply needs to hinge on a pin, an eye fitting is the most direct connection. The Metrol E1 is a steel eye end fitting with an M6 thread, a 18mm body and a 8.5mm eye hole. Threaded onto the rod, its eye accepts a pin at the mounting so the strut can swing as the panel is raised and lowered. Its M6 thread suits a gas strut with a 6 & 8mm rod, and the eye pins to pin-stud brackets such as BRK-4B, BRK-7B, BRK-8-90. It measures 15mm across the eye boss, on a 12mm shoulder, with a 4.8mm section. It is one of a family of end fittings that connect a strut to its mounting — a ball joint to swivel freely, an eye to hinge on a pin, a clevis to pin in line, or a rose eye to take up misalignment. Sized for a 6 & 8mm rod, the fitting is matched by thread to the strut and by size to the fixing. It is found on seat bases, under-bed boxes, display lids, counter hatches and similar panels. Within the M6 eye range, its nearest sizes are E0 and E2, differing by body length; a 316 stainless version is available as SSE1.
