strut cartridge insurt help

[BayAreaDimer]

So I upgraded my suspension with coilovers in my 2 door sedan which fit a cartridge body length of 14 and a half inches but cant seem to locate the right cartridge insurts. Anybody know what year and model car would fit a stock 510 with a the cartridge body length of 14 1/2 inches?

From here:

1985 Toyota MR2 (AW11 front) Monroe part# 72880

Body type: T2

Body length: 14.500"

Compressed length: 15.750"

Extended length: 22.125"

Travel length: 6.375"

 

Tokico illumina 5-way option for same application should work great.

I have the MR-2 rears .. BZ3099's, I'll measure them as I'm not sure what length they are.

Thanks for the link, I saw it when I searched the cartridges butI tried those and the strut tip is too big, I don't wanna widen the holes up in strut tower. Is there something similar with the 7/16 inch tip that Datsuns use?

I took a round file to widen the hole. Took prob 5 minutes each strut.

Not to thread jack, but what are the absolute shortest, fully extended length front strut inserts that will fit in a shortened 510 strut housing?

Thanks! I'll check them out and see if they'll fit.

Do they fit? It has been 5 months.

 

Lots available for the Rabbit, part number that works?

 

Ahh I am so in need of front struts.
