ARANA 10mm Ball Stud Brackets for Gas Struts — 4-Pc Set with 16 Screws, Galvanized Steel

ARANA 10mm ball stud mounting brackets are a four-piece steel bracket set with 16 screws, designed to attach 10mm gas struts securely to lids, doors, and frames.

These mounting brackets give you a simple, durable way to fit universal 10mm gas springs—two angled brackets for lid or cover attachment and two flat brackets for side-frame mounts. Constructed from galvanized steel, the brackets resist corrosion and pair with both nylon- and metal-head gas struts. The included screws and clear hardware selection make installation straightforward for automotive repairs, furniture upgrades, or DIY projects.

How do these brackets attach to my gas struts and panels?

The brackets accept 10mm ball studs and secure to your panel or hinge point with the supplied screws. The angled pair is shaped to sit on a lid or door edge while the flat pair mounts flush against vertical frames. Together they let the gas strut pivot on the ball stud while keeping fasteners hidden and tight.

• Includes two angled and two flat brackets plus 16 screws for immediate mounting
• Fits 10mm connector bores on both nylon and iron strut heads
• Galvanized steel construction for a strong, rust-resistant connection
• Ball-stud pivot gives smooth opening and closing motion

Will these brackets work with my specific gas springs and weight requirements?

These ARANA brackets are compatible with most universal gas springs that use a 10mm ball end. They are engineered to handle common loads used in automotive and furniture applications—suitable for struts rated up to approximately 200 lb when mounted correctly and paired with appropriate struts. Always check your strut’s rated force and mounting geometry before final installation.

• Designed for any gas strut with a 10mm connector bore
• Compatible with both nylon-headed and metal-headed struts
• Appropriate for struts in the typical 0–200 lb range depending on setup
• Use correct screw locations and surface reinforcement for heavier loads

How difficult is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is a quick, straightforward process suitable for DIYers and technicians alike. Most users can complete the job in about five minutes per bracket once pilot holes are marked. Basic tools—drill, screwdriver or socket set, and measuring tape—are all that's required.

• Drill and bit for pilot holes; screwdriver or socket for the included screws
• Measure and mark bracket positions to ensure correct strut geometry
• No specialized skills required; follow torque guidance to avoid stripping
• Swap between angled and flat brackets to match lid or frame mounting needs

What materials and finishes are used, and will they resist rust?

ARANA brackets are fabricated from steel and receive a galvanized finish to slow corrosion and extend service life in everyday environments. The protective coating helps maintain a secure connection in garage, boat, or household settings, but saltwater exposure or industrial atmospheres may require extra protection or stainless alternatives.

• Galvanized steel resists surface rust under typical indoor and outdoor use
• Solid construction prevents deformation under normal operating forces
• Use additional sealants or stainless hardware for high-corrosion environments
• Regular inspections recommended for heavy-use or marine installations

Who is this for? The ARANA 10mm ball stud mounting bracket kit is aimed at car owners doing trunk or hood strut replacements, furniture makers fitting lift-assist mechanisms, and DIYers who need a reliable, off-the-shelf mounting solution for 10mm gas struts. If you want a corrosion-resistant steel bracket set with both angled and flat options and all necessary screws included, this kit simplifies installation and gives a long-lasting pivot point for your gas springs.
