Na spindles are thicker, so will need some washers to compensate for the gap

been there, the hole centers on the spindles are different. At least that was the case with my 86 na when I tried to install a set of 951 Konis I modded a set of lower strut bodies when doing a hacksaw Koni insert job.

You can drill the holes bigger on the struts and make it fit.

yeah, I suppose.
What I did was weld up the lower hole and re drill it.
