Every one I know that did it used the bearing plate as a template (That's the thing the strut mounts to on top.)

thanks for the help, but i am currently using my zuki, so i can't remove my shocks and use that as a template, is it possible for some one to get the outta diameter and the inner diameter for me PLEEEEAAASSSE?
Also would nylon be a good material to make it outta of?
