I don't mind embarrassing myself if some good will come out of it. Can someone please measure the center to center length of a louvre strut and let me know what it should be. My "originals" measure 18.25" but some replacements I just received from eBay are only 17.25" so they do not allow the louvre to raise up enough which prevents the engine cover from raising up enough to catch the holding bracket.... Not to mention they seem too strong. Another reason to buy from a DeLorean Vendor!
