Be aware that factory supplied struts are cut to length with a shear and are not round at the very ends. File them round otherwise you may never be able to remove them from the JB Weld.
Lonnie, I had a thought, what do you think, about using Gorilla Glue in the holes, it's tough and will foam around the wire, and would be easier to get in the holes ??
