Why not use a damper from a screen door? They're made of Al with a steel
rod, some are very small, they're less than $20 and the lentgh is rather
immaterial, I think, when the damper can simply be run parallel to the frame
under the seat. The ones on my door operate the same way as a steering
damper. Open slowly and very little drag occurs, but try it fast, and they
slow things down. Plus, their dampening rate is adjustable. ?
