OK so a while ago I picked up a set of Koni yellows from German ebay.
My Car is an 87 325is and the part number for the front strut I have is
86-2269Sport, this looks to be an insert for the 45mm housing.
I have seen a few cars that have a smaller insert in the housing , and the gland nut was used to locate the insert. From what I understand the Koni's can be used with standard gland nut, so I'm wondering if I can use the smaller insert in my larger housing? Possibly if I fabricated a sleeve/spacer to make up the difference?
I'm using a threaded perch which I understand will not work on a 45mm housing so I dont think switching housings is an option?
