Let's see what sort of interest we can get when I mention it in the RTV sub-forum.

Brett, thanks for taking the enquiry seriously.

Visual difference between a standard Falcon item and RTV item below (thanks to side roads build thread)

Showing the difference of standard to RTV shock.

They differ in the shock length and the mounting tabs.

Hi Raptor,
A couple of things you could do for me, is to measure from the hole centre to the top of the damper body, to give me a compressed length. Also to measure the rod length would be great. Apart from that we have all the top and bottom mount dimensions.
If by chance you could measure the rear damper for open and closed length from centre of the mounts would also be handy mate.

Cheers
Brett

Hi Shockworks, if you need a donor RTV to trial them on, let me know, happy to put some readies toward it

Brett, the only RTV shocks I have are on the car, and I'm not certain they are genuine ones. I have been trying to find someone with some genuine shocks off the car to measure, but haven't been successful so far.

I could attempt to measure what I have on the car up front, I'd be prepared to take the rears out. But that will have to wait until it's drier and warmer outside than it currently is and I find the time.

Hi Rob,
No stress as we are in the middle of the development with two different cars so can't do much in the next couple of weeks. When I get these models out the way, I will have time to confirm lengths and start the drawings. Should be easy as it is just the lengths that change:-)
Cheers
