Split rubber sleeve?
WTF are you talking about? the lock collar? its 6061 aluminum and its just intended to be a one hand operation (which it isn't).

suthrninca is an unknown quantity at this point

I think your talking about the spacers. Not sure though cause I don't have GC's, but my kit came with 3 different size split sleeve spacers to accomodate for different size struts. All they do is center the threaded sleeve on the strut and make a snug fit.
