 Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 @AZS Maybe it would be possible to mount 2 spheres in parallel?
The idea also may be worth looking at, however lot of lathe/mill machine work... I have a lathe..
Going to try an old Xantia sphere that was on UK ebay?

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 subarupete wrote: My understanding is LHM spheres (with Re-gass and Rebuild Valves) do not fit the C5 strut, but have a lead that a French guy has made an adapter? All spheres fit, even the oldes LHS2 -spheres from -53 Traction fit to 2015 C5. The thread is same all of them... And, LHM and LDS are full compatible, only LHS2 is total different. LHS2 uses EPDM and LHM/LDS NBR. That is the reason why you can't use pre -66 spheres or any hydraulic parts, unless you change all rubber parts to NBR... Have been playing with these long enough, made refill -tools for old serviceable spheres to refill with the original plug (what is said it's impossible to refill). Also some experience with different gasket materials and hydraulic fluids... subarupete wrote: @AZS Maybe it would be possible to mount 2 spheres in parallel?

Going to try an old Xantia sphere that was on UK ebay? You can adapt another sphere by using Hydractive central sphere unit, from Xantia VSX/Activa, Xm or C5 with Hydractive3+.  Also suitable "adapter" is quite easy to make fron Cx/Xm brake-sphere mounting piece. The small part under sphere. That "odd-looking" sphere is ld version of brake accumulator sphere, what is replaced on Cx that special-sphere what was used on Ds/Sm and some Maseratis also...

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Great job - why didn't you put the control buttons up near the steering wheel?
