Trevor,
Thanks for the info.Sounds like the late model 240k struts is what i want.One
thing though bothe the cruiser and hilux calipers i've seen have one large and
one small piston on each side.The small one looks to be around 30mm but the
large one looks a lot bigger like around 40 plus mm so i'll have to measure them
up on my next day off.
