No issues that I know of with short struts Paul. More preferable if running the car low. My 2L struts don't have much travel cause I'm running fairly low.

I have these struts in my cortina, used QA1 springs atm, but need a collar for the larger OD springs in AUS, ill keep looking and swap for 180 or 200 pounders

I have found with the GAZ struts the collars and seat are suitable for a 2.25 spring, which are hard to find in oz, i should have got them when i ordered, dang

A little update of one of the little jobs to do before it hits the paint shop. If I plan to use door speakers or central locking I want a decent way to run the harness to the doors. A walk around U-pullit revealed a couple of Mazda 121 hatch loom grommets. These fit the bill being small and round to make it easier to install. A stepped drill and a couple hours later this is the result.

They're 12P and no idea as they've never been on the car sorry.

As the shell is away at the panel shop I figured I should start tarting up some of the gear to go back into it once it returns. As it will be a disc brake rear I need to support the inbound end of the flexible caliper hose. Got the idea from another member (Matt I think) to mount a bracket to the bump stop plate instead of the diff housing.
I will be getting a custom set of braided lines made so figured I could do whatever was easiest. I have a number of spare spacers from my rear disc kits kicking around so 30mins later I came up with these.
Hose in pic is just to give the idea of how it will all hook up. Actual hoses will have the 10mm male fitting each end.
