James, Late model 180B struts are very similar to 200B. The main difference is the calliper bolt spacing 76.2mm on 180B and 88.9mm on 200B. The VL/VN calliper is 76.2mm which is why they fit the 180B calliper although I guess you could make an adaptor for them to fit 200B struts. The problem with using a 200B strut doesn't end there though, as the 180B hub is slightly narrower than the late model 200B and even narrower than the early model 200B so the 180B hub so I imagine that it is much easier to machine a 180B hub to get the correct offset when you use a 24mm Magna/Verada ventilated disc.
The commy/verada or Magna conversion is best done on late model (9/74 - 8/78) 180B struts. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Cox Sent: Monday, 12 November 2001 1:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Commondore calapers/verida rotors Well unless the 180B struts look very simular to 200B struts, cause i've put it next to a regular 200B strut and they look the same.
