WTB: Fox Float/Vanilla 165mm rear shock

[Treker]

I'm looking for a 165mm Fox Float rear shock. Must be in good working order. I might consider a Vanilla.

My location says Melbourne, but im in the UK for a few weeks and want to take one back with me.

Thanks

I'm sure it will be 165mm that you need.

How sure? I've been trying to hunt on google for answers but with no luck.
I live in Australia which is where the bike is, but bike parts are cheaper here so wanted to get one to take back with me.

Thanks

Very sure, I've built 3 in the last 6 months and they are all 165mm. The B-17 was 200mm

My current 2000 east peak is 165mm too.

Very sure about being not so sure but the shock I took off and have spare (rebound knackered) are all 165mm too.

I've had a reply on another thread where someone has a 185 though?

Do you have pictures by any chance? Thanks for the info.

One is an original Fox Vanilla, the next is a Rock Shox and the last pic is a Manitou

* I have a lovely airshock which is some 400g lighter that I'm waiting to fit after I fix the rebound.

Just measured the shocks. Eye to eye they are 165mm. End to end they are 185mm. The eye to eye measurement is the important bit
