I purchased some Bilstein inserts for some Boge 3" 911 front struts. Everything fits except the top cap is a couple mm shy of screwing down. Anyone run into this issue? I don't know if I need a different top cap or different insert. When I take the insert out it screws down all the way but the insert is a couple mm to tall when it's in the strut. ???

It you really want the nut to be flush could you machine the bottom of the nut? Assuming there are adequate threads of engagement it would allow the nut to be flush.
