No they won't work. They are to wide for your pinch forks to fit around. And any machine work would likely exceed the price of new struts that will fit, that is if its safe to remove that much material at that spot on the strut. Also the part numbers listed in the add do not show up in the Koni catalog and I even checked to see if that number showed up for any OTHER application, no dice. But just looking at the boxes tells me the struts are pretty old. If you want to get a 2nd opinion call and ask for gordon at koni, 859-586-4100 But don't be surprised if he can't pull up any specs to help you.
