Just started taking bits off this Ranger so I don't get held up waiting for bits.
I have taken the shrouds off the front shocks (Girling) to get them re chromed as nobody seems to do them 3 1/2 inches long, mostly 4 inches. The problem I have is that front shocks are 13.9 and most reproduction ones are 13.4. The body of the shock if you stand it on a table and measure to the top of the cylinder is 8 1/2 inches, significantly more than the rear. Has anyone got a 13.4 shock that they can measure to check the body length? The spring is 10 inches long.
How much difference would it make if I used a 13.4 instead (using the 10 inch springs)?
Not sure if I understand what I have typed, but hopefully it makes sense
