Good Jack,
My struts are held in by adel clamps too. Still working well after 29 years.
Cheers,
Kirby

Thanks for the response. I think I have a way to make them fit, have some 1" adel clamps on order to fit to the lift struts. If they were the round jury struts, I could "tweak" them into shape, but these are streamlined, and powder coated to boot, so I have to make the plane fit them, and the supplied clamps, don't. I did find the lift struts were not quite straight, and that helps a bit. There's always something else to work on while parts are on their way!
