Hi George,
I did a "How to" on here a while back which might help with the quick jack hole location for you.

Looking great Ben, Where did you get the boot strut ? I don't like the position of the gas struts and was looking for something a bit different.
I thought the toilet brush was a passenger accessory.
cheers

Thanks guys, I tried searching and reading through various build posts but obviously hadn't come across these ones.
Cheers,

Hi Modena, interested how you measured up the positions of the holes for the quick jacks before you drilled them.
Cheers,

Hi, the "bolt" is currently a piece of threaded rod which I'm going to replace with a socket head cap screw. I bolted on the threaded rod inside and used it to mark the inside of the body, then drilled a pilot hole from the inside and then used the hole saw from the outside. |

Have a look for some stainless acorn nuts for your quick jacks. Should be able to find them the the right thread to suit. They polish up nice too.

Hey Mike, it's funny how we change our minds as we go through the build process. I had always planned for the past 4 years to use acorn nuts and had planned on painting them black to match, but now that the jacks are mounted I instantly changed my mind to stainless socket head cap screws.
A similar thing happened with what colour scheme I wanted on my car. Before I actually started to build a cobra for 20 years or so I wanted blue with white stripes, and as soon as I bought the car I changed my mind and chose to go with the black and silver approach. |

Hi Dave, sorry missed your Q earlier. The strut came from Finishline;
