Or you can buy rear trunk shox for $40.00 and never have to use the TOOL, plus you will have money left over.

Do you still have to cut the trunk seal to make it clear?
That was probably the main reason I didn't get them.



I bought mine on my 74, no problems mounting, they worked great. I did however cut the seal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Before I asked for help. I think it was Jim that put the brackets upside down, (could be wrong), but someone did. That way you didn't have to cut anything. I might hve just jumped the gun and notched it before removing my head from my ass....

ANyway they worked great, and plan to buy another set here shortly... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

To all who have used my "tool" on their hood springs...does this look familiar????


I have used the JIMMYTAB TOOL. Still a pain in the ass, but it works.

Jim - can you fly out here and do it again? It came off again. I'll make a BBQ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sounds like maybe this tool never got enough orders? Does anyone have one they want to sell or rent?

Thanks,
Russ

So Jeff's tool looks fantastic....but if the 914 Rubber tool does the job saving the money makes sense. Jeff's tool has two notches and the 914 Rubber tool appears to have only one. It obviously works but could someone please explain it too me? Thank you very much.

914Rubber tool is flat and can be flipped over so the slot points the right way on either side.

Factory bars are angled out toward the rear of the car so if you flip it over it will be pointing to the front of the car and not have leverage. Thus the opposite direction slot on the other end.
