Problems installing yellow koni's in my TE71 liftback

[teun]

Hi Guys,

Just managed to get the old shocks apart on , or should I see off, my liftback.
I have a nice set of koni's to replace them thanks to Bozu.

However, I'm running into fitment issues, though the koni site and all different kinds of places show the correct part number.

My issue is as follows, the top nut doesn't fut when the shock is in.
Any good calls on a nice way to get stuff fixed?

Due to the design of my suspension, I can't drill a hole in the bottom to let the pin on the bottom of the koni's go through, since I think it would hit the nut of my LCA.

All help very much appreciated.
