If they do fit, well, game on!!

Exactly Jerry!!

The brackets line up on the 2 inner bolts of the strut but not the existing holes on the brackets. So I'll have to drill 2 more holes on the brackets lol
If that makes any sense at all

:p

I'll be cutting off a section of The brackets, illuminating the outer hole. So the brackets will be of a "C" shape

Good luck with the project Frank. I need to send my 05 to you to wrap the console in suede to hide the drill marks in it. The knuckle head who owned the car before me installed something on the inside wall of the console so now I'm left with a lot of holes LOL!
