Abstract: An improved adjustable lift strut support adapted for permanent attachment to a shock tube of a vehicle's failed lift strut. It is capable of quick safe attachment to a plethora of different diameter struts. It wont damage the shock tube assembly if it is left connected to the shock tube, nor will it damage the vehicles hood or liftback when they are closed with the support connected to the shock tube.

Abstract: A coupling member for connecting a conventional handle to a lock release actuating shaft of an vehicle tilt seat mechanism. The coupling member comprises a relatively short shaft having contiguous first and second portions that are of different outer dimensions transverse to the length of the shaft. The larger one of the first and second portions has a recess extending a selected distance inwardly from a free outer end of such portion in a direction toward the smaller one of the two contiguous portions. Means are provided within the recess for detachably mounting and securely anchoring the coupling member on and to the lock release actuating the shaft for rotating same. The smaller one of the contiguous portions is adapted to project into a socket in the handle for the tilt mechanism, and has means thereon cooperating with means in the socket of the handle for preventing relative movement of the handle and coupling member when the handle is moved in a direction to rotate the lock release actuating shaft.
