    Default Jury Strut Streamlined Clamp doesn't fit

    I've run into another hardware issue. The jury strut clamps for the streamlined lift struts are pretty wonky. The front clamps are a bit long and will need to be shimmed with rubber. That is not a biggie.

    The rear clamps however are too short. The provided bolts are not long enough to span the gap. I thought that it may be the masking tape but I even tried without it. I even tried to squeeze them closer with vice grips. I have temporarily solved the problem by salvaging longer bolts from elsewhere in the kit but I will need a more permanent solution.

    Should I have kitfox send me longer bolts? Or just get new clamps all together?

    I should say that if I do get longer bolts, I will need to space the gap in the clamp with washers.

    Just an update on this. The factory said that there may have been a problem with the fixture so they are sending me new clamps. Hopefully that solves the problem.
