    no surprise, apparently you cant even order from koni, you have to go through Lambo, and thus pay inflated prices...

    Managed to get a full set one pair from Italy one from the states. Lamborghini have zero stock in the UK and seem unable to confirm if they will even have sets of 6 in any time soon, so if you have a Diablo and damage a shock you are going to have some problems.

    I'm always impressed by your work, like how you find practical solutions and aren't a slave to originality.
    This and the Michelotto are superb. John in CT/USA.

    Hi John thanks for the kind words, for the Countach I have all the original parts retained as all of the changes like the brakes and suspension are just bolt on bits, but with the UK roads as they are always nice to have some responsive brakes! Project now on hold really waiting for parts to come back, e.g. plating, suspension arms etc and the dampers to be delivered. Have however made up a new AC cover box as the one on the car was a bodge, just got to get it welded up as will be waiting forever on Lamborghini to supply this back order part!

    Having some polyurethane shock bushes custom made at the moment due to the inability it seems for Lamborghini to move its stores and get operational again, should be available within the next 7-10 working days.

    Are those Diablo shocks?
    Or are they generic Koni shocks?

    They are just an Allen screw (effectively a long grub screw) with a nylon on my car for adjustment

    Hi Sp1der , i like the look of those calipers, with those adaptors they look just like factory oem units .
    I'am still trying to resolve the lug nut issue, I see you have the nuts installed on your discs would you be able to measure the shank size of them with a vernier for me.

    Thankyou so much for measuring that for me that will help heaps it means I can continue with my build and know that they will be as it should be, at the cost of the wheels I really don't want one to fall off.

    I am starting to wonder if the wheels holes have been bored out to 14mm, would it be posible for you to get a picture of your bolts as I think the volvo bolts I sourced will be to tight a fit
