I've still not cut my old style one piece bonnet for the Striker in two yet as I'm scared to death of it!

There are currently some Lola ones on ebay.com

Thanks Jeff, bought one of the single blade ones.
Surprisingly cheap.

Very nearly got this twin blade...

11" Wide & tall so difficult to mount sensibly. Cross tube/3rd spring is part of the frame, so simple pushrods to the rocker inners.
And as we don't know the actual ARB open/closed effective spring rates was concerned it may be too stiff overall.
Rear fitment maybe.

But this one I found after my purchase is very compact & looks a whole lot better suited..... currently $99/£68, plus the shipping & customs tax.

Fully soft you can twist my blade ARB with your hand so I doubt it will be too hard.

I must be very stupid....I have looked several times on ebay and never been able to find the ARB units, followed the links on this topic and found several more! Time to get my tape measure out and do a bit of head scratching to see what will fit where ;)
