Strut Mount question SA-->FB

Strut Mount question SA-->FB
I have FB struts in an SA housing with FB strut mounts and RE-Speed Coilover kit. The problem is that the threads at the top of the strut are protruding too high through the mount bearing (see pic). I would need to put washers on the top side to get the top nut to tighten down.
Is there a spacer I can put below the mount to bring the strut top down enough?
Thanks,
Rick

if you can't find a spacer, washers would work just fine

do you put the washers under the cartridge or in top of it just under the gland nut? reason I ask is because I still want the car to sit level.
how many did you use per side, and whats there thickness? thanks
