I'm ready to restore the front struts the Ray way.

Post by frogsta »

G'day guys, been a while since I was last on here.
I'm in Australia, I have a 73 412 variant auto so getting parts here is not so easy or cheap.
I managed to get the correct disc rotors from the U.S.
I have had the callipers recoed and also the master.
I also found some new passat/audi strut inserts equal to the ones Ray Greenwood recommends to use on his close to stock reco of a 412 front strut.
A few years back I remember Ray posting a diagram he drew up with measurements of adapters he made up to compensate for something missing in the strut tube.
If you're still able to find your pics Ray, or anyone else who may have saved this diagram or know where on this forum it is, I would much appreciate it.
I'm keen to get rolling again..
Thanks
michael.
