Ben, Removed one strut at a time and slid over it. I used the smaller fairing and it was a snug fit. Drilled thru it at the intersecting brace and bolte d through it. That is all that I have to hold it in place. Has been fine for 3 yrs now. Bob In a message dated 1/25/2011 4:58:55 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, n801bh@n et zero.com writes: Hey Bob.
