Sorry I don't have a spare, but a complete leg less disc and hub is about 10.5kg. If the spring is taken off it should come in under 10kg. Good luck with finding one.

On the other hand, what's bust with the strut you have? If it's just the lower spring platform get another welded - properly - on.

They look like this:

I bent the steering arm

OIC now.

Kind of wish they made them bolt on like some other old cars.

you need a specific part for specific models, I think there are maybe about 4 strut types. I had 340 struts on a 360 I bought once, it wasn't good.

Get the PN of yours and advertise that.

indeed ride on is right, the 340 and 360 strut are different, something I recently found out myself,

the 360 has a tag welded onto the strut body for the anti roll bar link, where as the 340 one does not.

hope this helps.
cheers

its a 1982 360 saloon b19 engine, has the anti roll bar on the wish bone and oil filled shocks

Hope this helps as the car stuck on my drive atm

Looking at the Haynes, the 1.4 uses a +30' camber, and all other models -30', so I think that is the biggest difference. Th castor and king pin on the 1.7 is different to all other models. I also see different part numbers between the 360 GLT hatch and 360 GLE saloon, although it could be differences in GLT/GLE ride height.
