I didn't use a condensate drain besides two small weep holes. I'll give some consideration to reinforcing the strut, tower guys said the same thing.

Put a neoprene washer under the bolt, and a bead of silicone behind the strut.� Even if it someday down the road it started weeping during the rain it would just fall out through your condensate drain. .....I didn't read your parts list though.� If you don't have a condensate drain you should think about that.

The two are going into reinforced embedded threads- adding more would mean a penetration to the box :/ maybe JB weld the strut on there too! Thanks, `S --- Sent mobile, typed by thumbs.

I'm guessing you've got one in each corner. Even low grade steel bolts are staggeringly strong, but if you had a bad one then suddenly you're hanging on one bolt.
