I hope the images worked.

Image one shows on strt installed but I put the top washer on upside down and I did NOT use the spacer.

Image 2 shows the strut in a vise with the spacer installed. The nut is on the end of the threads.

Image 3 shows the metal spacer and a stop that I almost cut in 1/2. The stop goes on the rear. Should I get a new stop? I think this one will work because it will still do its job. I dont mind buying a new one, but I don't want to wait 2 days for it to arrive.

Image 4 shows the instructions with the strut. The arrow on the picture points the the spacer that came with the strut.

Thanks
