[urq] Hood support strut

[Chris Miller]

Thanks.  I looked up the parts fiche, and it shows it, but not where on the
hood.  There are several slots; looks like the second back is the right one
to use.  How does the mounting bracket mount to the hood?  Does it sit loose
inside the hole, with the bolts holding it in place through friction?  The
special mount is only welded on one edge, looking like it is supposed to
allow something to fit between the halves.  Does the welded part go forward,
and the nuts go upward?  A photo of the hood side would allow me to figure
it out.  Chris

The illustration from ETKA is pretty clear. LMK if you don't have it and
I'll put it in a Word doc or whatever and email it over.
