I just recieved an email response from Koni about the gland nut.
Here' s the response that they gave:


"2mm is good and normal. That lets you know that the force of the nut
being tightened is due to the insert being held in properly and not that
the threads have bottomed out. This is normal and expected."

If, you havn't put the struts in yet, you could put the gland nut on and screw it down , without the inserts in, to see how far they screw down, just for extra peace of mind.

The nuts actually do screw all the way down and the top of the nut does bottom out on the housing.

In the pictures with the insert installed, the gland nut is only on finger tight.
