Self made tweakables? Help please.

Hope this is in the right section...

I'm trying to make a cargo bay lander that holds a little rover and a return to orbit ship for a Duna mission. Here's what I've managed to put together so far:

4E76D778EB19DDB9677232D8D24A28D842B6965D

It has a sliding rail and hinge so it will drop the...well, drop ship I suppose, out of the bay and they'll both drift down on parachutes.

Problem is, it bends too much before it gets deployed.

I added a strut here to stop it bending down and it worked fine.

But the strut is too strong for the robotics arm to break.

So the question is, if I make an exact copy of the strut connector parts folder but tweak the --- Strut Connector parameters --- in the .cfg, change the 'title' to 'weak strut blah blah', and save it in a new folder, will I get a new part that works the same only it breaks with a weaker force?

Or is that just wishful thinking? And yes, I like purple :D

So I just had a go and it seems it works when I made a new part, but even with a strength of 0.1, (from 150 normally), it still didn't break.

Ah well, now I know I can edit arts to make new ones...hmm, a mainsail with 100,000 ISp you say....

MU-AHHHH-HAAAA-HAAAAAA-HAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
