Default Koni Yellow Shock Install Help Please

I bought a set of Koni Yellow shocks for 94 RS Integra. Everything was going smoothly installing untill I noticed the the medel cylinder the bushings go around is not large enough for the shaft to go thru. This is at the very top of the shock tower. Does anyone know where I buy the right part? Thanks

Normally with Konis you need an adaptor. Check with http://www.Tornactive.com he should have them in stock for like 45.00 bucks (please dont quote me on that)

Call Koni... I am not sure what part your talking about but their CS is great and I am sure they will be able to help. You can find their contact info on their web site.

I think you are talking about the strut dust cover.
The hole needs to be opened up to 12mm (1/2" or so) to allow the Koni piston rod to go through. It is easy to do, a drill press makes thing safer/easier but a hand drill and vise would work fine.

Or if you mean #12 (the spacer bushing) it should have come with the Koni's

#10 in the pic below
