Does anyone have handy the link to the installation instructions?  Ken
Wilford posted an excellent tutorial
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mVDVe5X040> on YouTube, but I'd like to
have printable instructions.

Also, comparing the Bombay struts and the GoWesty struts, is one of them
known to be better than the other?

The Bombay struts involves drilling only one hole on each side of the
poptop.  The GoWesty struts involve drilling 8 holes per pair of struts,
but the strut bracket is installed underneath the rooftop. Looks like 6 of
one, a half dozen of another!  A bracket underneath the rooftop seems like
it would be more stable than a side installed bracket, yet I would think
that it's better to drill 2 holes than 8!
