5-1/2" is the diameter of the servo piston. :wink:
There was also a 6" Lockheed (later I think?) but it wasn't used on these cars.


Thanks!

They are, the only difference being the aluminium main body. The originals were unpainted and therefore took on a rusty appearance pretty quickly. I hit mine with a light coat of clear to stop it going to gross or staining everything beneath it.
