Blistein prices

[Paul Meyers]

You are exactly right. I used the 12 mm version in my pearl 88 5kcstq. I
ground down a 17 mm socket to be skinny enough to clear the upper mount(and
not a cheap one either). I drilled out the upper mount, the bump stop washer
thingy and created a new spacer out of copper water supply pipe. Works
great, but that was before Bilstein offered the 10 mm part. I did the 87
5kcstq wagon with the 10 mm rear shock. It required no adaptation.

Actually the 5kcstq should be using a 10mm thread.  The 12mm is used on
the 
200tq.

The 12mm is on the 91 200q20vt's and later models, but not on the 10v
200's.

  The 12mm type can be used on the 5kcstq with a modified nut cut 
down to 16mm (you can't get a 17mm wrench in the 5kcstq's top mount)

I just modified a cheap socket with a grinder to fit.  Also, you need to
drill out the upper mount, the bump stop washer thingy, and get
different spacer tubes.
