toyota_ae71 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks for the info but i just realised that "4ages" has said that he is running his sohc hub!??? this is what he said ""In my SOHC I have the struts from a DOHC with super low King springs, the SOHC hub, the DOHC strut brace and just threw in some OZ tec bushes"" Cheers Quote

Tho why youd want to run SOHC gear in a DOHC apllication makes me wonder lol He wants DOHC struts in his single cam, Here are a few reference pics for bolt sizing: Struts, SC on left, TC on right. In this pic you can see the size difference between the hub and the strut. And finally the bolt size difference that bolts the hub assembley on, TC on top. Quote
