They are tricky little pieces to make and install. Pantera folks have added
many jedi tricks to make things happen as illustrated in your photo. Some
welders are intimidated welding right up next to a gas tank for some reason.
The important thing is that the other side is at the exact same height so
both struts fully extend equally at the same time.

This is what someone did when it was last repaired. So what bracing is there
underneath to provide strength?
Looks like they welded this in on top for bracing.
Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed,
Pantera Parts Connection makes these little tricky pieces. They need
to be
welded in and that is tricky as well unless the Engine is removed.
They
need to be level, otherwise the decklid struts will not stay up as
they
begin to collapse the pressure lessons to the point of ease of
closure.
Our dEck Lid shocks are made just for Pantera(c)oes and have the
proper size
mounting heads for either the 10 mm 71 allen cap screw fastner, or
the 72
and later 6 mm hex head bolt systems.
18126P PPC Shock rear deck lid support $42.00 each
18126X Support, Lower Shock Bracket $75.00 each

My car is in the body shop and the factory location for the deck lid
shocks were missing jerry rigged and non stock. Here's a picture
from
serial number 36xx blue car, and then from a push button black car.
When
did the factory change over to the new style of mounting location?
My other car 2152 has the early style as pictured. The candy apple
car.
Also, need the factory locations for the rubber bumper on each side
on
top of the tail light housings.
Thanks Ed
