Strut Bar Type 44

[Chuck Pierce]

Bernie
When you move the upper strut bushing mount it moves only the strut 
within the spring, the spring plate does not move. It is still bolted to 
the tower
So by moving the plate outward ( with the Igor mod) and then modifying  
the strut bushing piece you gain the additional adjustment.
You will  then have to modify the opening in the strut tower ( on the 
outside edge) to allow the strut bushing plate to move more outward.
