You would have to make provisions to locate the eccentric on the bottom, which would be very easy to do with a 2mm piece of flat steel, and a torch. I've thought about this, and the only thing that concerned me was the elongation of the bottom hole in the strut towards the outside. Failure of this bolt hole would result in partial seperation of the strut from the spindle. By modifying the top bolt hole, removing metal from side of the hole closest to the strut tube, you dont compromise the integrity of the bolt hole as you would by removing metal from the wheel/spindle side of bottom bolt.
I also used a small die-grinder to move the eccentric locator's inner edge 2mm. towards the strut tube (all they are for is alignment adjustment. They don't actually KEEP it aligned. The bolts do that)
It worked great om Hummbug! We posted pics in our profile of the struts installed.
