Re: door strut questions (up or down?)

For the most "official" answer refer to 8-4-0 in the Workshop Manual. 
It clearly shows the orientation of the "gas strut". With the latest 
struts now being offered it probably doesn't matter so much anymore 
but if Rob Grady says to mount it piston down he should know as he is 
directly in touch with the supplier.
