<VV> Help - Rear Strut Rod Mounting Bolt Length

[ChiefTAM at aol.com]

Thanks all for the replies, didn't get back to you all as I had to go out  of 
town for the weekend.  I got one side up, and all bolts went in without  
bottoming (both long and short).  Of course, I got the strut rod up, and  then 
realized that I had to put the half-shaft in before the strut rod in order  to 
get it to fit, so I had to take it almost back out.  And then, of  course, one 
of the u-joint caps came off, and I spend a great deal of time  finding one 
needle bearing, but I did find it and got that side up.  Now,  on the the other 
side this week, hook up everything else, buy a new battery (old  one sat two 
years while motor was getting rebuilt), drain the gas tank, and then  get ready 
to fire up the new motor.  Can't wait!
