Interesting thread, thanks for sharing. How do the lengths of the different driveshafts compare, minimum and maximum?

Yes, the collar has a reccess on its upper face, so the spring pan sits on top of and around it to stop any spreading. Once I'd worked out how to assembly it, I thought it was quite a neat solution. No idea why there are three holes in the spring pan,  maybe let's any water out as the edge of the pan is flared up into a cup shape?

Just seen John's post above... The correct Konis have part number 80-1388 - if you have these, they will fit the GT6 and the spring seat is in the same place as the originals (as per my pics above) :)

As mentioned above, the chrome spring seats with 3 holes in them are at the bottom. To assemble: 1) Extend damper to full length 2) Slide bottom spring seat up shock from bottom (it doesn't fit over the dust shield at the top) 3) Locate 'C' ring over damper rod and slide down damper to retaining ring embedded in the lower damper body 4) Slide bottom spring seat down onto "C" ring 5) Put spring on from the top, followed by top spring seat, which has 3 threads protruding out of the top of it to secure it to chassis 6) Compressor spring with spring seats on both ends until you can put the bushes on the top of the damper rod to secure it all Hopefully these pics will help...
