Ducktail - do you use stock support strut?
Full of questions today...
This one is for owners with ducktails. Do you use the support strut with your fibreglass ducktail? Or do you rely on the trusty cut-off broomhandle? I'll be getting a ducktail for my soon-to-be-picked-up '85 Carrera and I'd like to use a strut, but I've heard this may not be a good idea as it puts excessive pressure on the tail. Thoughts? Thanks, Dallas |

The trusty broomhandle works a treat My original lid weighed a lot more than a f/g duck, but it was a turbo tail Paul |
I use a stock strut with my ducktail and have for the last 5 years or so. Works fine for me.

Bought my car 19 years ago and still have the same struts on them.

I use 1 strut on my FG Ducky.

Use the stock strut for the FG duck. Works great and is not too strong for it.

I dumbed mine down - had a brand new strut on my decklid prior to installing ducktail - ended up mounting an older strut that had a little less "umph"for DT. Works fine after 2 years....

I tried the hd weltmiesters, and they were too strong, I could not close the lid without some fg deflection. Bill K |
