UrQ Strust mounts on a CGT - front only?

[David]

Thanks Tony. Does this mean that UrQ owners will now be using the green V6 strut mounts or is there a new replacement part for the UrQ? Are the V6 mounts as short as the UrQ mounts? Also, anybody with access to the family album, could you look up the part number for me?

Thanks,
