First picture is what the stock Mustang strut looks like and has a catalog body length of 12.375".

Second picture is of a similar strut (not quite the same bracket) that I think I can make work. A version of this was used on the front of 2000+ Impala and Monte Carlos. It is approx 2" shorter and I can just shave off the coil perch. Another version of this is used on the front of early 2XXX LeSabre and DeVilles. It is even shorter and might give me a total of 4".
