85 trans am lift supports help
Hi guys. Having some trouble finding correct lift supports for my 85 Trans am. Has wrap around spoiler and no rear wiper I purchased the rynopac 4900 and they don't match up to what I have and don't know where to get the correct ones or maybe a different mounting bracket? The replacement part#4900 has a through hole where it mounts to the body. Where the ones I have on the car has a threaded hole on the end where a bolt goes through to mount it.

That looks to me like someone made the adaptor, all the cars I have seen have the through on the end

Re: 85 trans am lift supports help
Weird. But that would make sense. So how would I go about fixing this? Is there a replacement adapter that I can get?

Yes the one bolted up are the ones in changing. If that bracket is not stock I would prefer to remove it.

Re: 85 trans am lift supports help
Not stock,looks stupid.Also after you remove that,their is a cap that covers the bolt.
These are the caps.
