I think my friend has a scan of the template that comes with the mugen rear strut bar. It shows you where to cut the hole. It makes it very easy. Post your email address and I'll send it to you if you want it.

yup. and what's worse, if you run adj. shocks, and you adjust them semi-frequently, you'll need to cut the hole big enough to get your hand in there.

i have koni yellows, and big-*** holes cut out for strut brace and room for adj. tool and my hand. soon, all that interior will be gone though.

u can use a sharp knife or a dremel... but yeha your goin t to have to cut tha plastic.. unless u plan on tearin out your interior anyway to save weight.

a small hole would be perfect...
while yoru @ it.. install a NICE roll cage.. it will really stiffen things up!

If you see your email address above the file I sent was undeliverable, due to a full mail box or the file being to big. I sent the file again to everyone but I zipped it (2.34MB). Let me know if you need me to send it again.

i have a mugen bar and yes, the template worked perfect. if you've already cut an ugly hole. recut it till your edges are straight and then finish the edge with some rubber tubing.
