Hey all, Great work with all of this. Been looking for solutions myself and it's amazing what some of us can come up with. In the meantime though, I went ahead and took a gamble on these from earlier; https://www.universalairride.com/product/1988-1991-buick-reatta-rear-electronic-to-passive-suspension-air-shocks-conversion-kit/ I'll update here if they ever show up/fit fine.

The 3D printed plastic 'proof of concept' sleeve nut is complete. It will require the snout/bridge to be cut off the lower mount plate (far right in the picture below), the hole in the upper plate (second from left in picture below) will need to be made larger to allow the sleeve nut to pass through. The strut mount on the car will be left as-is, no modification necessary. The sleeve nut fits perfectly inside the plastic sleeve inside the lower rubber bushing. I have another set of mounts on order to modify as needed to confirm everything. Just waiting for the pricing on the sleeve nut. I will heat treat (austemper) the 4140 sleeve nut at our Oshkosh, WI facility. Again, soliciting for anyone who has a failed set of struts to donate to the cause and be the first one to receive prototypes. I have one Monroe insert strut already.
