gumbyz13 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I just recently ordered struts from McMaster-Carr to do the hood conversion on my 72 and the ones I received were a bit short (5.5 inches). Those are the ones for the part number listed on here in the search. Looking to see if anyone can give me the overall (extended length) of the correct struts so I can re-order? OR I know the ones I have seen on a few 510s were a bit longer but if these will work anyone have a picture of the correct mounting? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment

gumbyz13 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 You have the correct ones. They work perfectly for me. I will post a picture for you tomorrow if you need one. Great thanks...That would help out if you could post the picture. All the strut mods I have seen are a bit longer. Quote Link to comment

Creepy Cruiser Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Perfect, thanks. This way other people down the road that come across this thread, won't have to keep searching all over the forum to find that info. Quote Link to comment
