These appear to be for the phase 2 Goobie, but I'd send them a quick email/phone call before placing an order to make sure :agree:

It's the part where it says "specify the size of sleeve nut and washer" that's got me a little unsure. :confused:

Measure the size of the thread on the damper rod, that's what they are asking for. When I brought a set of those many moons ago they sent me several sets of sleeve nuts.
