Hi Again
Another big advantage of Sean's attach brackets is that they sit lower than
the stock Van's brackets. They have the same hole geometry it is just that
the strut attach point is lower. This means that those of you who have
clearance issues with the door (like me) can avoid having to cut a clearance
hole in the top of the door.
I wish I had these sooner as I cut clearance holes into my doors last June.
I just repatched them today now that I have Sean's brackets. As much as I
hate fiberglass, it sure is forgiving.
Cheers
Les

Hi
At KOSH I picked up a couple of door attach struts from Sean (
<file://www.planearound.com> www.planearound.com). I did the retrofit
recently and the hanger consensus was they look far superior to the the
steel brackets from Vans. The retrofit only required a small adjustment to
one hole that I didn't drill exactly perpendicular when installing the
original brackets.
They can be found at
