Hi

Fronts will be 12 3/8 " open. The rears should be 14" Those are the sizes that Westfield supplied as STD but many people have altereed these sizes with renewal of originals to suit their own applications. But if they are the original SPAX then the above sizes they will be.

Cheers Matt

note - westfield use a different sized bush to most people. Normally you get 1/2" bolts for your shocks, westfield use something a little smaller. I think its 7/16ths. Make sure when you get your replacements you get the right sized bushes.

Glad someone has his thinking head on. I forgot to mention the bush sizes of 7/16unf on the Westy items.

Cheers Matt

Hi

Bush sizes at Protech. well tell em what you need and they will supply. They do 7/16 - 12mm - 1/2" as Std but just tell them what you need as they do differing widths of bush also.

Cheers Matt
