Well the straps hold them down but they should fit pretty snug and not stick out at all.84grandprix said:Yes they r the 69 joints. ...I also think I saw someone post about grand national joints...the original stock caps fits from the 84 on to the 69 and if I put them on the 69 I have just a little wiggle will that matter?..or do I need them tight? ...or when I put clamp on it will it run just as same?
