    51mm on late model and 45 on early? Or is that the insert... I have a spare set of late model housings on the shelf I'll measure tomorrow if you don't get your answer by then.

          Ok Thanks so a 2.08 sleeve should work since the housing is 2.007

            Just to add on this, are we talking about the outer diameter of the strut housing being 51mm? Theoretically, if i were doing something custom, i would need an OD of 51mm, and that would fit into the knuckle?
