ohlins FD strut question

Hey everyone, I haven't been able to find any info on these ohlins struts that I just picked up. I have a set of racing beat springs that seem to fit on the struts but a stock upper strut mount does not seem to jive with them. Anyone know anything about these? What mounts do I need to make use of these? Here is the model number of one and some pics of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ohlins ch9-s010r

Those are old! At least 10 to 12+ years old. You can use a pillowball top mount from HKS, Tein, Cusco etc or even the OEM topmount if you want.

I have tried the oem top mounts and they don't seem to fit. The piece at the top of the shafts seems too large and the bumpstop that is incorporated into the mount will not slide over it. Is there some sort of modification that needs to be done?I do have an extra set of oem mounts that I was hoping to use with these so if I can make them work, that would be swell.
