B & C shocks are slightly different. I can't remember the exact details (it's been a very big four days), but the length is different and something something.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

We can make you a Hi-Low speed new shock as well . Thanks to the better exchange rate , we can now offer local high quality products again to compete with ordinary products from US .

Are they actually made in Australia?  You should be able to corner the vmx market if you get the advertising out there about australian made shocks

could be right Nathan - I do know that even though different years - 74/75 - the 360B and MX400B shocks basically swap with a very small mod.

The C shock is slightly longer Nathan/Ross....those Works Performance shocks are the go, transforms the bikes. And they have the runs on the board, look how many are out there compared to the made in Thailand Suspension Shop ones are. Don't know why the the owner of that shop always has to bag everyone else's products?. Quality, value for money and back up service speak for themselves.

agree about the works performance DC - that is what I made mention of early and have installed on my bike - seriously better than standard.
