if you are sectioning the struts, precision is the key, make sure you cut everything as straight as you can, this will save from many headaches later, as the illuminas i used fit very tight inside the strut tube. the band-saw i used cut everything at a slight angle, so i had to grind and fill gaps with my questionable welding skills, leading one of them to be slightly off and i had to whack it a few times to get the gland nut on. but other than that, take good measurements, and it was pretty straight-foreward!
I will be doing them again on another car so i might do a photo step by step on how its done...
