Default 58 cent mod

I like the strut tower covers offered by some Mustang suppliers but in my case, I'll eventually install a strut tower brace to stiffen up my 'vert. I did'nt want to spend the money and use the covers a short time. In the meantime I wasn't happy about the rusty shock/strut ends poking through the towers.

The fix: I cut 2 short pieces of leftover yellow hose to cover the treaded ends and then bought a pack of grey "screw covers" from Home Depot (they're actually vinyl Caplugs). You can find them in the drawers of oddball hardware in the fastener dept - 2 for 58ยข. here is the before and after pics.

Not bad at all! The yellow hose complements the dip stick handle to.

You should try to sell them on e-bay for 10 bucks! I bet they would sell!
