That is cool the poly came with a bug. If I was walking by I'd never notice, unless I leaned over and read it.

Small bit of DIY info on these 'Repro trim pieces for the vent window tops; OE uses the 3mm set screws and these are supplied with the new kit.
However the new (repro) products are drilled/tapped at 2.5mm from this Co.
These came in my 914Rubber seal kit , which we sourced several years ago/ maybe they have caught on to it and are supplying the correct size set screws now ¿

I will add a knurled knob to these basic bolt-extenders, for easier use.

Air (nitrogen) cylinder , top support flange and basic hardware > 5 fasteners secure it in place .
Genesis brand does not require any holding-clamps around their cylinders.

The 3rd air jack mounts center/ and just behind the fuel cell. The ball-valve in the pic is utilized as an equalizer to the rear 2 units; by setting either more or less air pressure to bleed out...the car will drop down more evenly all at once. Without this Equalization, either the front ½ of the car/or rear ½ of the car will drop down unevenly.

Location of center air jack during early fab work in the interior. I skipped the use of the Top support supplied in the Genesis kit (.125") plate and built my own from .375" plate.
