rear strut missing?
Is there supposed to be a strut on the engine lid? My car (81 SC) does not have one and I am tired of keeping it up with the back of my head! Can I engineer a front strut to hold it?

Hey you should have a mount already there on the left side hinge. I would guess that if you buy the shock and the clip that holds it in you will be able to put one back in.
Check to see if there is a mount there first. The sound pad is probally covering it up. If you have any more questions just ask. ------------------ Kenneth Silver 81' Targa |

Not sure about an SC, but look in the engine compartment on the left side...on the top of the compartment, and there should be a little place to attach a shock. They are different from the front. I think smaller. If I can find a picture, I will post it for ya.

Make sure you get the pin for attaching as well, because using a screw & nut can be a PITA.
