Since I didnt find conduit nuts ( i think those never exists in nordhern europe ) and anything that fits in there, from store, I figured out this... I made spacer out of the 50mm plastic pipe. It was too hard make space with pry bar for spacer ( especially driver side ), so i used jack. Its very easy way to make some space there, if you dont want to take everything apart. Will see how it holds up.

50 mm ????????????
not great on all of this MM to inches crap but that seems like way too much
3/8 of an inch is what we use
so from my calculations 0.375in = 9.5250mm
you can't have much of the bottom of the shock left in the clevis
scary.............
Hope you didn't already have it aligned so you can drop it back down some

I think he meant the diameter of the pipe was 50 mm, not the height he cut it to. At least I hope he did :icon_confused:

Can't even see the bottom of the shock so its up too high.

Looking at the picture with the calipers, it's kind of hard to read, but it looks like a vernier scale. Looks like it's 1.100" to me.
Of course its the pipe diameter. The spacer is 10mm. About 3/8". I have done lots or reading in this forum and lostjeeps too. Thanks to Tommudd and Tonycrd I have some "right at first time" mods on my CRD. Like OME suspension lift for CRD and clevis lift. Now looking for some rear isolators
great!!!!

Well, good job.
But, this kind of plastic pipe, is it strong enough to support the pressure? I mean it could break apart with the compression of the clevis on the strut.
Am i wrong?

Sure its not that strong as steel or aluminium rings. But its pretty hard plastic, and this way is very easy to install. And cheap too. You dont have to take everything apart. I did it because i couldnt find anything that has exact fit in there. We dont have those conduit nuts here. Anyway, i would made those spacers nicer looking, but i was little hurry, because i had some tyre/fender rubbing when was turning hard. I will check once in while, how they stay there.

Might be worth it to pay a little extra for shipping in the long run for a better part.
