The van used longer suspension struts (trumpets) than the 10" wheel minis. Tim |

Not sure, can't be more than a cm or so. The longer struts were used on the vans and 13" wheel mokes. I assume 12" wheeled minis used them as well, and I believe all UK minis switched to them in 1984. Tim |

Interesting might measure some. I knew big wheel mokes had longer swing arms but never heard the trumpets being longer |
