[Shotimes] Strut Housings for Konis?

[Ron Porter]

Only on the rears, the section below the pinch-bolt boss is longer on the
earlier housings. Actually, you could look at the ones on your car, and
compare them to the ones you have. The difference (if any) is obvious.
Doesn't matter if they're the long ones, they fit fine on the rear (I have
'91 long-housing struts with Konis on the rear of the '95). It only matters
for the proper Koni insert.

Someone gave me a set of old struts for the express purpose of pre-mounting
Konis before taking my car apart.  But I don't remember what year they came
out of, and thus don't know which Konis to get.  How can I tell if they are
the short or longer ones?  They are going in my '95, so I suppose they would
either be the same or different; what is the area that is different?
