With the countersunk holes it makes it difficult to use a larger washer.

I have mine off right now.
The washers are all dished & you can see that the hole locations are starting to dish as well.
To me this means that things must be moving.

If I keep the StrgStrut bars I'll figure out a way to mod them.
If there is a better set of bars (functional) out there, I'll may just sell the StrgStrut bars.
See my post on the DIY section for a possible solution if you wanted to try it as well => http://www.zpost.com/forums/showpost...3&postcount=71
