I ordered new Bilstein strut inserts (part number 34-001127-M512) to replace the old Koni's (part number 82R-1730) that I removed from my '73 914. Both inserts should fit a Boge strut, but the new Bilsteins are too tall (about 3 mm longer than the Koni's) and don't fit the strut housing. Any idea what's wrong? Did I order the wrong part?

Here's a picture. The insert fits in the housing, but it bottoms out at the bottom of the housing and won't engage the threads. Can anyone point me to the right part number if this is the wrong one? Thanks in advance.
