Wed, 12 January 2005 12:08 its easy to do i used to do it often on old datsun and toyota struts my old boss stewart wilkins motorsport does this sort of stuff but seems u have a guy to do them becareful when you het this done it can turn to shit its hard to explain but u also need to modify the inner strut basically if you run inserts then it doesnt matter u get the correct length insert but if u still run the oil filled insert then its a good idea to machine done or cut the inner strut/sleave assembly by the same amount think it only cause a prob if u are cuttin alot off but i do know that if you dont shorten the inner aswell if its an oil type inner then it could bottom out and push the ass thru the bottom of the strut i might have expalined it wrong but i do know u can run into probs as for cuttin the spring seats you can easily get a hacksaw lightly and slowly cut round the base of the seat 2 mm above the weld gring weld away then reweld seat in new position careful not to cut into the strut when cuttin seat if you du slightly just weld up and grind back i used to do it in under 2 hrs or 1 hr if strut was pulled apart and cleaned already [Report message to a moderator]
