Default Gruven parts 2" arms for sale

Does anyone require 2 X 2" Gruven actuator arms see www.gruvenparts.com.

I measured the gap at 2" broken when I should have measured fitted at 1".
They cost £73 landed and will cost £35 to send back so pm me for an offer.

1" on the way.

Yours, down on torque, gapthree3

Why do these vary in length? Is it 32v vs 40v?

Mines a 40v and pretty sure they're 2 inch from the very brief look I had when Reffro had the covers off to check they were working....

I 'think' the C5 S6 has the different size ones.

If its not below zero when I put the car back in the garage later I'll pull the covers off mine and look

25mm seems awfully short from what I can remember

Mine is a 40V 2001 S8 which has variable valve timing (& is 1" arms). The gruven parts web site has a calculator for various models. I'm guessing 2" is for the non S8 engine.

I did get an e-mail from them to check the distance when I had placed the order. Unlike me, check the gap as though they arms are in place and not appart if they have snapped. Doh!
