Hmm, it seems that GC (or at least some of them) kits use also an aluminium sleeve. The problem is with the finnish inspection (aka. MOT) regulations, which state that home-made repairs on suspension components is not allowed. If the visual inspection shows that the struts are obviously home-built, they may order the struts to be replaced. Using a steel sleeve allows me to weld all around the strut tube and make it look more like a "factory-made" unit. Wink

Actually, we do have pretty much all of the required tools at our garage, except for one - a press. Unfortunately it's probably the one that's needed the most.. I'll probably refer all my pressing needs (haha, pun) to my preferred machine shop so that shouldn't be a problem, either.

And WTF - the service manual says to grind away the rear wheel bearing's inner retainer. That thing is a huge piece of solid steel! Huh
