help with strut mounts, please

Hey guys,

I bought a pair of hunter motorsports strut mounts awhile back. Just went to put them on today, been busy.

I put the strut mount over the hole for the strut. Only two of the bolt hole slots ever line up at a time. I do have the right side mount on the right side.

Anyone have any insight or advice?

thanks

There are two different bolt patterns for strut mounts, I believe 82-86 and 87-92. You probably need the lower brackets to go with the new mounts:

Spohn's stuff is first-rate--that said, the retainers can be picked up for little or nothing at a bone yard.
