split collar shafts.

The bolts will snap long before you crush the strut tube, they are thick enough to support the front end weight.

 

Too large a diameter will tighten but not grip the tube. Too small will work just fine but not too too small.

This.

 

I'll just go with something that's 9/16. it's 5.6 so i assume it should be good. cant find anything that's 1.59.. even though I'd think a 5 inch perimeter is common.

Well i actually found 1.5.

I'm thinking that may be too small....

 

edit.

 I saw that the 280zx struts is 2.07 but the 2.0 id clamp worked.

 

I found 40mm clamps which comes out to 1.57 so I'm getting these to fit the 1.59.

 

I'm hoping it all works.

Well the shafts weren't tight enough so i shaved off a bit of them on the tips so that it tightens more.

 

They came out perfect and I'll be posting pics as soon as my car is done :)
