Coilover sleeve ID? (strut OD?)

Does anyone know the outside diameter of the FB's strut, or the inside diameter of a re-speed or ground-control coil-over sleeve?

Thanks

I'm building a custom set of front struts for my FC and ground control won't sell my just the front FC coilovers or give me any dimensions...

If the Weld on FB coilovers will fit that'll solve all my problems :-P.

I talked to re-speed, and their sleeves are on back order...
