just wondered if anyone has got a rear shock lying around which they can help me with some measurements.

What i'm after is the size of the hole were the bolts goes thru to the rear axle, the width of that collar on the base? thanks Duane

Hi,

The length of the collar the bolt goes through is 39mm. Internal diameter of bolt hole outer edges is 21.5mm, right in the middle where it is tapered in is roughly 14mm, can't get the calliper all the way in to be 100% though.
