Look like GRP4 to me.

I have the Eurospeed ones as per the pic.

Both the same though.

Cheers

Matt

Thanks everyone. I've found the bloke who actually made these ones, he's helping me out.

In the mean time, I'm trying to figure out out to make the Billstein struts fit with them. Anyone got photos of the spring seat and collars used in theirs? I don't have much thread to tighten up with either...

Turned them down 1mm? This looks like exactly where we're going. So far we're going to the path of altering the top spring seat slightly, removing 2 mm off the shock flange and making a sleeved nut.

These are great, however ideally, the creator of these particular ones should source a slightly larger rose joint by approx 1mm, hint hint. :grin: 02cents.gif thumbup.gif
