Trunk Struts

[rmiller64]

Took Jeff Kleiner's recommendation and installed Mike Everson's struts in the trunk. fast shipping, great instructions and perfect fit. Highly recommend during build while the body is off. Camera angle makes it appear to not be centered

I like the idea of using a strut. Not heard of Mike Everson. What company? Is it a kit specifically for FFR?

Thanks Michael, although I can't see those struts in your list of Roadster parts.

I second the replicaparts struts. Really nice.

Thanks Michael, although I can't see those struts in your list of Roadster parts.

It is called a trunk support kit.

It appears that the shock end of the strut is located right in the center of the seat belt slot ....does it block the belt ??

[michael everson]

Fordboy. If you look close, there is a relief in the bracket for the seat belt to pass through.

Decent view of the bracket as installed.
