Koni Sport Adj install on MK1

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i have had the same issue many times over. the hat and the collar must both
be opened up a tad to properly fit over the shock threaded shaft. this is
unavoidable, as koni had to use a larger diameter shaft for the adjusting
hardware to fit.
