Strange, the brackets on my 84' both measure 1-5/8"
gap, not wide enough for my new KYB's.  I looked on my
other westy(same year) and the bracket gaps measure
1-1/2".

again im cornfused, but thanks to the list i DID NOT
get in there with a grinder, i re-installed old shock
and ill be on the horn w/ Bus-Depot monday.

Thanks

Phil
