Hey Jon Interesting shock set up would be good if someone from this group could check them out as a coilover adjustable BMW set up is a new option that sounds like it has a knuckle joint on the bottom too. These knuckles stop binding of the shaft during the stroke and have spoted similar setups on performance cars.

Pete,
This van used to visit down the road from my parents place @ Narrabeen as the Owners mum lived there.
We have all moved on since then but this guy was the inspiration for my suspension set-up.
He told me where he had his done and what he had done so I went to the same place "Proven Products" in Sydney about 14 years ago and had exactly the same adjustable Koni shock system installed. They even provided a tool to adjust the shock seat but I have since lost that somewhere.
It works brilliantly though.
The Owner used to put a bladder as a water tank in the front spare wheel well. Nice warm water after a long drive I would say.
Love the colour too.
Why did he just list it on UK ebay?

Skot,
It is listed on eBay Au. My eBay account was created in the UK and I have never been able to switch it over fully so email notifications come via the UK for some reason. I just posted this link direct from the email to the forum.
Jon.

Thanks Jon.
It thought it would be a bit strange to just list it through the UK version excluding loads of possible Aussie Buyers.
Ebay is probably the worst place to sell a syncro on in my opinion - only bargain hunters look there for them.
Carsales or Gumtree would be a much better idea.
Cheers,
