Hey all.

i'm after some inserts to suit 120y struts. they are currently being shortened and the inserts i currently have are two fat! does anyone have any or know the part number and where to get some?

many thanks

series 2 rx7 are about 73mm shorter than standard the are a tight fit but do go in

mk1 gold ones fit straight in. mine are pedders ones

Thanks guys! I have mk 1 golf ones but they are too fat. I'll look into pedders :)

GOLF MARK 1 INSERTS ARE 317MM BODY LENGTH EXT 501 COMPRESSED 351
RX7 SERIERS 2 INSERTS ARE 343MM BODY LENGTH EXT 554 COMPRESSED 373
DATSUN B210/110 INSERTS ARE 418MM BODY LENGTH EXT 612 COMPRESSED 418

koni make some in their yellow adjustble range that fit, about 60mm shorter from memory

pedders has some golf ones in stock. 300 for a pair. does that sounds reasonable?

From memory they are about 120 each trade so that price is fair. Keep in mind you will have to sand down the paint on the raised section at the top of the insert to get them to fit, may be you should try that on the ones you have already?
Also some members that have done this conversion had to sand off the paint and also hone the strut tube to get the inserts to fit.

The shocks will not fit even if sanded, the butt of the shock doesn't even fit and it tapers down there! Lol maybe there are a few different types, I'll go see Simon at pedders and chat with him and see what we can come up with.

if they are too fat just buzz em with a flapper disc, i just had to remove some of the paint, the KYB sticker and a bit around the weld at the bottom of the insert then it fit like a champ.

Cant find the part no. but the ebay seller was "carpartsdiscount " and they are a KYB GR2 strut sold separately, the part number is on this site somewhere, you should be able to find it.
