I'm in exactly the same position. I'm actually toying with some M6 extenders and some all-thread, with a view to maybe being able to extend the struts a little (it's just constant compression load, so I'm hoping it'll take the load). Either that, or I drill new holes - I was aiming to integrate the pop top lift kit into roof rack mounts, and drilled all 4 holes already, so I'll end up with a lot more holes than I'd originally planned on :o( Mark's not replied to my "WTF?" message yet - have you had any luck with him? toodle pip, -- Dug Smith | What is the meaning of life?
