  2. I’ve measured the shocks fully extended 385mm hole centre to centre and I’ve checked to make sure these aren’t bottoming out , I know the bush size so all good .

    An incorrect assumption on my part. Looking at the photos they appeared cut off. My mistake, likewise the ride height too. I’ll make my excuses and butt out.

  9. Internal aperture on mine is 12.8mm , the bolts are 12mm . Just need to make sure I order correctly (and not have a muppet moment ).

    I think I mistook the end of the bump stop stub as being cut because it looks so clean and shiny. Anyhow, hope you get it all sorted.

  15. Apologies , the top holes on the present shocks are approx 16mm the hole at the bottom is 12.8. I need 12.8mm top and bottom to suit the bolts

    I would second this... they are very nice.... BUT didnt suit my Transporterhaus spindle set up as additional coilovers were needed. For those i bought Gaz shocks with coilovers. The shocks themselves are very similar to the Protech ones.

    @GONA66 you didn't answer my question about the spindles earlier, but the above is worth noting.

    @StuF I have the Protech shocks for the front ready to sell... less than 600 miles. PM if you're interested!
     
  17. Dont front shocks fit beetles as well?
