have located some top condition stanza struts/ calipers (slight rust on disks) and they are a bargain too!! now i was gonna chop two inch off the coils so as it lowers by one inch (is this correct?) is this a strait fit to my 76 120y? as this is the only car it cannot b of road for more than a day nd a half and i hate getting into a job then just when almost finnished it is out by apoofteenth and on a sunday arvo everythings friggin closed aaagghhh!!! this seems to be straight a forward swap and i know that most of u guys have all done it and are prob over newbees askin the obvious... but is it?

Make sure you haev the lower control arm as well form the stanza and also make sure that it is the strut with the Girlock caliper. (I believe)...

Dunno if there is anything different because of the 120Y factor though...

yeah i would be keen to find out if there is any difference in this install for a 120y
DAVE

well the tricks when putting into a 1200 are as follows, but which of these still apply???

1. the strut tops, the stanza ones can be used on a 1200 but you need to elongate the three holes the studs come through into the engine bay at the top, can use 1200 strut tops instead, so maybe can use 120y tops

2. when putting into 1200 need to use 120y castor rods, now putting into 120y hopefully 120y rods are still good???

thats all i can think of

all your brake lines and swaybars and stuff will match im pretty sure. i use a 120y swaybar on my 1200 anyway

and yes, you want the ones with the girlock calipers

cool i will pick em up on thursday then have a go on the sat. thanks for the info and will report any thing that pops up.
