Zac,
Have you refreshed the pages lately as I have no mention of custom struts
on my current site. The struts shown in the pics are R31 GTS fitted with
adjustable platforms. This is the only custom part of the struts. If you
use the standard spring platforms these brakes can still be used. 70mm is
larger than most X offsets. Typically the rims I have range from 15mm to
45mm.
Cheers

But Errol, the pictures you have on your site use a custom strut? You do
write that it is compatible with both.
Is 70mm X-offset big for a 15" rim? I noticed that you struggled to get
65mm
on some 15", thats why I thought mine was unusual to get 70mm quite easily.
cheers,
zac
