Rebuilding struts, what parts am I missing?
 
Hello everyone! I've been getting an SA back together that's been sitting in pieces for 15 years. It was due for a struts replacement and they were removed and the assemblies taken apart. I've replaced the cartridges and got some new pillow ball top mounts. Looks like I need spring perches as I could only find one and a few other parts. Can you tell by the picture what I need? I'll add new bellows and bump stops. Thanks!

The issue I have is that with the spring perch / top hats on I've got a huge gap between the top mount. What components go between the top mount and spring perch?

Have you looked at the 1979 parts catalog on Foxed.ca? What struts did you use? Did you add oil in the open space to help with cooling?
