I am building a locost, but am purchasing an indy rear end (wishbones, uprights etc) for the irs on my car. Can anyone tell me what size open/closed the shocks are that are used on the indy? I have tried several searches which yielded no results...

thanks,

Ned.

hi ned

mines are 13"( says the cardboard box)
open i guess
+/- 10 " closed ( measured )

alloy shocks btw

Just while we're talking about this what do you fine folks use as spacers at the bottom of the rear shocks, since the shock is a lot narrower than the bracket? I stuck in about 5 washers (see attached photo). Are there supposed to be spacers come with the kit or anything?

Fitted my shocks last week and did the same as you, 5 washers to fill in the gaps. I've seen lots of cars like this at various shows which is why I did it, so I can't see it being a problem.

Thanks Koen, I just wondered what mk use, though guess it will depend on my pickup points and might be different as I'm running a narrower track..
