I went and bought new ones... but I guess so long the 'old' nuts fit onto the shock nicely, it should be fine.
Had a bit of a poke around but didn't find anything definitive for what i was after.
I'm about to build some coilover struts in my RA65, and will be using KYB Excel-G (go ahead, laugh... i'm a povo uni student! ) SW20 struts and shortening the strut tube. now, from what i gather, the gland nuts supplied with the SW20 struts are the wrong thread pitch, and as such, are useless.
so basically, to cut a long story short, is it safe (or advisable) to use the old ones that are currently in there?
cheers

just use the old ones.....no drama.
sweet. cheers guys
If you are shortening the strut tubes I believe you can get weld on new threaded sections with nuts so you just cut the top down and weld them on rather than having to re-join the cut down tube to retain the factory thread. Could be worth looking into.

ajps. but any suspension specialist should be able to fix you up.
i had contemplated this idea, but decided i couldn't be bothered trying to source some threaded sections alongside myself being poor. certainly a viable option thoughOriginally Posted by WDE_BDY
