As I mentioned in a previous Thread about making my own hood strut with brackets that I've made. I got the made and installed on the car for almost a week now. The Tech. at the Dealership asked me where I bought them amd I told him that I made them. These are some quick pics that I've taken
I used 2 18-1/2" 45LB Shocks with 2 10MM Ball Connecters and I used Aluminum Angle rod for my brackets.
