I think the rear upright lower bolt will be shorter. Upright - 120 mm. 2 bushes: 100 mm. 2 washers - 3 mm. Nylock nut - 12 mm. 2 more spins of the thread - 3.5 mm. Total: 238.5 mm. Seeing as this is the bolt that interferes with 14" steel wheels for some people, I'd keep it at minimum.
I would also suggest adding front upright strut pinch bolts, M12x45, to the kit.

That shipping is a real killer
Like you say, the only reliable way of getting them out to you would be by Airmail & yes, split into two packages to avoid the 2kg weight limit
Thank's for the info Albert .... I will go through the lengths thouroughly before I order up, want to get it spot on.
Would you think the upright pinch bolts would need to be stronger that 8.8's ?
Your thoughts would be most welcome
