I drilled a new holes in the lift bar for the longer length of the new strut, covering the previous holes (too "low down" along the lift bar with a segment of supposedly waterproof white 'goriila tape'. (The tape is easily replaced if it fails).

I originally cut the "big" SS washer of my upper attachment assemblies with with 3 holes - the centered hole for the strut post and opposing bolt, and TWO anti-twist holes for additional off-center bolts.

But when I actually mounted the strut, I realized that just one anti-twist bolt would be more than adequate. any attempted rotation of the main connection would need to legnthen the anti-twist bolt connection. The bolt is anchored with a lockwasher and with locktite, it will be sufficient to keep the strut mount from rotating.

Therefore I chose not to drill the the 3rd set of holes through the lift bar (for a second anti-twist bolt).
