Urethane inserts????, NOW strut mounts

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Should make little difference as the studs do only two things. Locate the
top of the strut and keep it in place while unloaded. Besides the original
post had to do with the inserts for the Dasher and the Beetle being the same
not the housing. Best deal would be Dasher housing (direct bolt in) and
Beetle poly inserts.
