I've been thinking about making some adjustable platform suspension for SW11, as an alternative to using my current setup. So, my questions are....
SW20 struts, are they cartridge/insert types? Or sealed units?
Can the mk2 front struts be fitted to a mk1?
The idea is that I could sell the suspension that's in the mk1 now (jamex springs, kyb adjustable shocks in the rear, fixed kyb's in the front), to offset the cost (approx. $1400NZ including springs, which is around 300UKP) of the parts to convert the sw20 struts to adjustable platform type.
To give a bit more detailed info on the adjustable platform conversion, you buy a threaded tube that is welded to the end of the strut, a couple of large nuts that support the bottom of the spring, 65mm springs (that's freaking tiny!), and new top hats. This means I could get top hats to suit the mk1 hole pattern, so I wont have to do any drilling.
