actually, just looking around SMCKA does the arms.

would still like to know if the struts are 2L or 1600 though.

look like 1600 struts to me.
2L struts have larger diameter springs.

They look like 1600 struts. The top sping plate steps up higher than the 2lt ones. Correct me if i'm wrong guys?????????

What is the diam of the strut leg?

From memory 2 litre struts are over 50 mm (52mm?) while 1600 struts are only about 45/48 mm?

Look like 1600 struts visually. Just took mine off.
Burton power in UK also do lca's. Worth a look if you need a few parts.
