Thanks Andrew for clearing that up, I thought Sumis just might scrape in right way round. Girlock callipers don't fit unless you reverse the struts - no dramas caused by this other than the radius rod (aka t/c rod) inner donuts cop a hiding from being pushed under braking instead of pulled as the forward mounted radius rod is designed to do.

Hi Terry, I have 240K struts with the 270mm disk and twin spot sumitomos, with the struts not reversed (caliper rearward), and have never had any probs. I wonder what it is that sometimes results in struts requiring reversing, sometimes not? andrew On Sat, 6 Apr 2002, Terry Rudd wrote: > Justin, > > I don't understand what you have written here about the turning circle being > reduced by reversing the struts.
