did you change your Koni inserts?
 

I am looking for someone who changed out their Koni Struts. I am missing a single insert securing nut.

I need this nut ASAP so the car can go on wheels again and be painted.

I am looking for the nut that secures a Koni sealed insert (#86-1638) into a factory koni early strut. If you have an extra nut left from the old inserts I will buy it from you.

I hope someone out there has one.

btw, several times in the classifieds produced nothing. This is my last hope.

Thanks

I think I may have one. I'll check my pile of parts when I get home this evening and send you a pic of what Ive got.

That would be a life saver. Keep me posted.

I will get the specs tonight to make sure they match.

Jamie, check your PMs

This is the "internal thread" collar, correct? I think I have one of those in the toolbox.

Free. Let me know if you need it.

Chris

Yep the internal thread collar. ITs for strut # 911 341 041 10

Here are some pics. 52.5mm threads on the collar.

Still looking...

bump.

I'm afraid I don't have one...
 

I have two, they look brand new. Let me know how you want to have me send them to you.

Cheers,

Jamie:

I have one that should work, have 2 to choose from.

I'm in Reston, I think we have met on a fun run or two.

If you contact Gordon at Koni USA he will be able to help you if mine don't work . . . long story how I came across him. He is in customer service - auto products.

The '076' part above is a coarse thread nut (look at the threads on the earlier pic). It may not work with some of the older Koni housings. I got 2 of those with my new inserts, but I needed to buy an addtional fine thread version for my struts.

Anybody selling the inserts should have the fine thread nut for the older strut housing.

The ones I am offering are marked with 076 - they may not help you :-(

Mark, yes, we have met on the fun runs. I could drive out tomorrow and see if they work. If not, Chris I will contact you. Local is faster/easier than shipping.

Shuie, Yours look to have a coarse thread compared to the fine thread. I think we both need the same part. Mark/Chris - How fine/Coarse are the threads on your parts. I could not read the part number stamped in my nut. I think it starts or ends with 08.

Thanks again for your help.

Mine have 6 threads, yours appear to have 8.
