sorry i was in a rush earlier the measurement is the damper cartridge body length not the overall length nor the piston rod length just the body

ive measure the strut internally and got 340mm length and 49mm inside diameter
im going to nip to my local auto factors tomorrow and see if they will let me look through there book to see it throws up something that is smaller alot smaller
