calling koni experts - 86-1942 strut insert no longer available

Guys,

I'm trying to figure out options.

Current front struts are the old konis that take the 86-1942 inserts.

However we're advised KONI no longer make them. We've discovered the current inserts are some cheap knock offs that are plain dangerous.

Q:

In the interests of keeping with the konis, can you utilise an alternative insert in the koni uprights and what make/type etc?

We're trying to get the old pig to turn around corners.

Your advice will be greatly appreciated...

chris in Bris..

Here is a set we did last week:
