    Check out this link about the jury strut. I ended up cutting the jury strut a little and extended the bracket that attaches to the spar. This way the bolt was below the fabric. Worked out with no problems.

    Sorry, I don't have a pic. The bracket was already mounted on mine. I used a piece of stainless steel plate and added it to the bracket down through the fabric. Maybe you could fabricate new longer brackets?

    The bolt hole where the lift strut attaches on mine is right at the level of the fabric similar to yours. The fabric is pushed up a little around the nut. Maybe someone else can chime in with more info or possibly post a pic.
