I think i would like this on mine! Especially for $100... Thanks for sharing, Ian. Looking forward to the install.

They are brilliant...I've had them on my tig for the last 3-4 months. The quality is good and they take about 10 minutes to install.

Thanks I've ordered a set. Should have them by the end of the month.

Do the struts plug in to existing holes or do i need to break out the drill?

no the instructions show you use existing hinge bolts and one torx bolt on the inner guard near the head light

look at the picture i posted you can see clearly where the strutts are fitted .
