    hey there's a thought "zara" is a civey

    "bessie' is the ex-mil


    So Mark is that measurement for the civey or ex-mil?

    The Melbourne Landy parts seller once sold civy and military length check straps and shocks.I got Military length straps and spring hangers from them for my Ser3.

    Or you can just make 'em.

    Gus has parabolics so needed extra long straps too. I used an old Tae-Kwon-Do belt!

    I even got it from an old hand in the Landy parts game!

    Unless you want to keep it 100% original, they serve no purpose whatsoever (other than severely limiting wheel travel), so you can save yourself some effort, and leave them off.
