You inspired me to get that job done!
This morning I installed the gas strut. I am still figuring out the banana system, but this could not have been more than a single banana.
The kit and install is simple and straightforward. My Tuffy already hat little indents where the holes need to be drilled.

The holes they recommend to drill are too large for the hardware they included, so I sized down around 1/8” for a better fit. }

I had to alter the little tray to make it fit.
I do recommend the addition of the gas strut. The lid won’t slam shut on kid fingers or when it’s open and you brake hard.
