WTB Escort Mk2 2.0L strut insert

Chasing a pair of 2L strut cartridges for my dirt club car. Would prefer 260/60 Bilstein if anyone has some they want to sell. Also appreciate feedback on Oz suppliers of Billies.
Thanks
Steve

    never too old to learn.
    The billie inserts listed as 260/60 and 300/70 etc arent compatible with std 2L strut tubes. These inserts are mounted upside down and slide inside the strut tube, which is smaller ID and fitted with internal bushes. A few links on here  referred to replacing the bushes.  To use these inserts I would have to cut off my already coilovered  and braced tubes and start again, or buy complete new billie struts. I did like the idea of these struts as I've had the gland nut come off on both struts now in the past 3 years, although a good dose of loctite may be the solution to this. 
     
    Gaz inserts being hydraulic are only rated for light offroad use (supplier advice).
     
    Konies arent recommended, something about twin tubes (on here or turbosport)  
     
    Bilstien also do a P36-0110 insert, has  anybody had any experience using these for khanacross and rallysprints ?
    Any other thoughts on what inserts can be used with std 2L struts for offroad competition ?
