Are your inserts Gas, or O.G. spec oil ones?
Oil ones can be rebuilt, (Not that I've ever done it) But gas ones are off the shelf, slap in and go. You can even buy shorter ones from the get-go to save on having to get them shortened to keep your springs captive.

Do you have BNT in dunners?
Rock in to a branch, and ask to see the catalog.
Or maybe other will chime in with what part numbers they used.

is your's a full chrome under the caps, I recall some of the early 310s had plastic caps over full Chome, others didn't have the ends that bent around.
Looking good, nice to hear from you again.

I had that idea to look the other day and they are metal under there but taking plastic end caps off makes them short and show the bolt holes that hold the end caps. So in guessing full chrome ones are a wee bit longer and cover over theses hole.
