My god, I read this thread 3 times and still can't figure out the best way to do this.
Thanks for the great descriptions and pics, guys! However, although I've read and
searched this topic, I can never seem to get all the items together for a proper install.
From what I can tell, here are the items that need to be known for a particular install:
- What strut was used for your install (model/part#/length/store where purchased/price(?))
- Mounting points used (ie bottom/top bolt)
- Mounting method (drill and tap / simple bolt in / special part)
- How well it holds up hood (self rising / needs help)
- Any lessons learned
Thanks for all this info guys! Hopefully, we can piece these stories together into a
few cohescive 'how to' items. I don't want to buy 17" struts, but mount them where a
16" strut should go, ya know what I mean?
