going back to an old reply, but I took some pictures to show what he meant by this. There's no way the threads are coming through, because the shaft can't travel any more- it's limited by the GC spring perch. I'm wondering if there's a difference between later model strut mounts, because I know the ground control parts are correct.
These 4 raised bumps from the stock strut mount make it a sloppy fit, there's no flat surface for the spring perch to rest on:
The only way to make this work nicely is to grind down the 4 bumps from the strut mount, and machine the through hole in the ground control spring perch so that the strut shaft can move through it and make it to the top of the strut mount. Anybody do something similar?
