    Exclamation VR/VS Struts into a VN

    I just want to know if the struts off a VR/VS will fit into the strut towers of a VN?

    Has anyone done this recently?

    Just curious!

    Cool

    Hee hee hee...my son recently put struts on his VN...... which prompted Garth to put struts on HIS VN......loooool...so , yea ,mate...3rd bolt along...and get a bolt for each one at the top.....you will need a spanner the nut fits reallly tight in....then poke it on the hole under the bonnet near where the hingebolts onto the bonnet.............

    Ok, thanks for that info on the struts for the bonnet.

    I should have been more precise with my question. I was referring to the MacPherson struts as I believe it should all line up with the top mount off the VN bolted on!

    I got it the first time. Reading rattattack1313's reply I was getting quite confused as I was picturing the suspension in my head trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about
    I'm not sure if it will fit. In theory it should. But then you'll have the added cost of the VS hubs and replacing VS struts.
    Let me know if you figure it out because this set up makes it easier for the VT brake conversion
    I really love my Commodores but I'd really love a Dodge!!

    Thanks Lexx. I am hoping to find out, as you said it will make the brake upgrade easier and not to mention with those hubs you can fit the PBR gear!!
