(unable to get a quote) Thirdly and its now beer o clock so things might just improve I sit down to read e.mail and find all this wonderful stuff about 180B struts.A few quick pulses of the heart beat out to the shed and releaf they seem to be the bigger style ones anyway I took a few measurements while there and its 31cms from the base of strut to the bottom of the spring carrier where it meets on the tower. Armstrong aust. AS-1014LH                        AS-1013RHI hope these are right. Some questions raised where with VL sec. hand discs can they be redrilled?Do the old holes need to be refilled then new ones drilled into it?Any more info would be greatly appreciatedTanks againDave Dave, In regards to the master cyl, you may be better of just trying to find another from a wreck, rather tha shelling out big bucks on a new one. 100 each for rotors seems a bit steep, I bought a pair for 120. That was a trade price though. And my calipers cost me 70 for the pair from a commodore wrecker in Melbourne. Yes VL and VN are the same. I think you need some new mates.
