Default 85 - 88 hood assist struts photos needed

I am trying to put the short hood assist struts on my 1991. Obviously there was nothing there to show exactly how the mounting was done. If someone would take a couple pictures showing how the top and the bottom of the struts are mounted I would appreciate it.

Here's a pair that you can "zoom" and look at with the struts still attached. If you search eBay for more you can find a couple more pair that just show the studs. One pair doesn't "zoom" but there could be more.

I can likely get you a snapshot of a left side only with just the studs and no cylinder attatched if you feel it will work. I've got a piece of a hood that I would need to dig out. If you'd like - just ask!

Here's as good a shot of a left as I could do and it's "zoomable":

Thank you. That was exactly what I was hoping for.
