  1. Thank you for this thread. After many times reading I finally undertook sectioning my struts. Went with Koni 8610-1437 and TTT coil overs. I did buy the Koni gland nuts for the 240z narrower tubes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DDPF1TI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I did not want to deal with buying a koni nut tool. So I made my own from the sectioned off portion of the strut tube and welded pieces of a framing nail to it. Grabbed it with a pipe wrench, worked great and was free. Maybe someday I'll be a better welder too. I'll also say I labored over sorting out how to mount the stock top hats to the strut. I was overthinking it. Just grind the hole round with a dremel and drill it wider with step bit to 14mm. Then bolt it up.
  2. I researched bunches of rotisseries to sort our something to meet my needs. Since this is the latest rotisserie thread I'll add mine here. My requirements were - cheap, no weld & has to roll easily over a 1" lip on my garage floor. I bought 2 harbor freight cheapo engine stands and cut off the uprights. I cut down some 2x4 wood to just fit very tightly into the engine stand upright. Then drove the wood home until flush on the bottom. Mounted to a 2x6 using 2 lag bolts. Added some harbor freight large pneumatic wheels, a couple wood diagonals, and then tied the ends together with long 2x4's. I would not use it in an every day shop, but so far, so good. I used the leftover HF engine stand metal to weld up the mounts for the car. Thanks a bunch to all who post their ideas on these. It helped me a bunch for my solution.
