Interest check - ~Kellyefields~ custom hood damper kit

I think there was a mix up with the struts. The cylinder end socket is 8mm and the shaft end socket is 10mm, but both ball mounts are 10mm. Anyone

looks like some of the struts were done wrong. i am going through and checking the others i have right now. if they are wrong i will get with the supplier and get the right ones asap. might just switch out the ball bracket to make it easy.

ok so what happened is they put 8 mm caps on one end and 10 mm on the other. I have the right caps now and will send those out to you guys on monday. all you will have to do is twist the one off and replace with the ones i send.

Should I check my kit? I got the tube in back in October and haven't even opened it (Don't even have a Z yet... planning to buy one before I move to Tampa this summer).
