If I look at your pics, its a difference nut.
Mine had a different seat for the insert (camfered inside and little camfer on outside) and I I think it was shorter (not so much material after the thread) but could be mistaking...

I´d get it on a lathe and make it fit.
Or you can try Toyota and buy the nut from AE92, cause thats what I think was used by the previous owner...

Maybe this helps a little?

Thanks for your help.
Inside of the strut looks OK: No rust etc. Struts were equiped with OEM inserts (gas filled) before dismantel, so the nut should be OE AE86.
I'll check for AE92 nut. If not, I'll make it fit...
Thumbs up!
