Any idea as to the costs? Also, we don't have a bulkhead that looks like the IV's bulkhead to attach the strut to. Any idea where we could attach? Thanks, John [Hi John, since that structure doesn't exist in the ES I could provide a bracket that would pot into a slot in the ceiling of the baggage compartment. I'll be sure to take a look at a couple ES's at Sun'n'Fun and will design and provide a proper fitting. As for cost, I don't have a clue at the moment, as much will depend on how many I make... economies of scale and all that. I'll do some materials sourcing over the weekend (after everyone who's interessted has had an opportunity to respond) and come up with a number early next week.
