Ordered new inserts from Pelican a month ago ( KYB), pulled out the old ones (Koni) insert the new ones and find they are a little long (long enough the top bolt will not engage the housing). Koni has an appendage that fits a recess on the bottom. Does this mean I can only use Konis or can the KYB's have their bottom reinforcement machined off to fit? Pelican sales was not knowledgeable enough to solve the problem. Hate to send the things back without accomplishing anything, plus dealing with the USPS. Can't think this is an isolated case.
