Hi, I am fixin a 73 L bug and am chasing replacement mac struts for it and in fact any other parts someone may wish to sell: seat covers, chrome trim bits, rubber seals and a windscreen!
Anyone can help, preferably in W.A. as I live in Albany, Neil.😎

Am guessing you are a 3 bolter??

If not i have some 2 bolts. In Sydney though.

Are you interested in some adjustable thin springed struts??

Thanks Bizarre, yep saw that stuff, the struts are 3 bolters, what are the thin spring ones like? (I'm a heavy guy!)
Greedy 53, I would be interested in anything you might have left, if its good. Ta

If your going to the trouble of replacling the front struts

fit NEW inserts only not S/Hand it will save you pulling them all apart in a few months time

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Thin struts allow you to
1) lower the car
2) put a wider wheel on under stock guards
3) get a wider choice of suspension components

I am running 6" 50ET Porsche Boxster wheels with 205 rubber under the front with heaps of room.
