Thanks Nick, pictures sent. Commodore tubes were cut out, the stubs were bored out in the mill and lathe. I TIG welded them in the lathe to make sure they were aligned (I made sure not to earth through the lathe bearings).
The stubs were hard to machine around the old weld effected area.
The conversion allows the use of 36mm Bilstein Commodore inserts as opposed to 30mm inserts from vehicles like early VW Golf etc.
The bigger piston shocks don't overheat as easily as smaller piston shocks during a rally stage. Shocks are best if revalved such as those that Stuart Wilkins sells.
