How to adjust rear Koni struts once installed?

[Irish Pride]

I don't know if Gen2 is the same as Gen1 but on my 91 the seat belt mechanism in the rear is mounted directly above the rear strut towers. It is impossible to use the adjuster **** on my rear Konis with them installed. For the last 3 years I've been riding with them set where I wanted but I've always wanted the option to adjust them if needed. Here is what I came up with today.

I bought a low profile adjusting tool awhile back on e-bay. I can't seem to find it posted now though. It's just a round billet piece with a hole in the middle the right size. If you would like a picture, I can go nab one for you.

Yeah, that would be great. This works really well on the passenger side but it still rubs on the drivers side. It gets the job done but not perfect.

It's been a long time since I adjusted mine on the green plus, but I thought the problem was a height issue with the plastic ****. I talked to the Koni rep at the SEMA show a couple years ago. I believe he gave me a shorter verson. I could be wrong, though.

Alright Chad. Here's a picture next to the regular ****.


On the **** it had a website (genuinesaab.com). So I went there and found the tool.

I just cut mine down and installed them on the strut. Left them there.
