you should just be able to unscrew the ball joints from almost any car and use them...then have a butchers at some of the after market lifters and copy their mounting brackets

just been down this road but my bonnet it too light for them

I would imagine most users on here haven't seen Legacy boot struts before, so someone is going to ask for pictures/dimensions a some point. Once you've got that info, you could ask the manufacturers themselves.
