Default F-sport shock collet ( spacer ) ?

Hello all,

I am looking at buying a set of used F-sport shocks. The buyer states he does not have the spacer / collet for the shocks referred to Figure 2-5 in the installation instructions from Sewell's website:

http://is.sewellparts.com/pdf/PTR13.pdf


The diagram isn't the greatest in trying figure out what the part actually looks like. I just wanted to be sure that I could use the ones that come from the stock suspension.

I replaced the stock rear shocks, but don't remember a part like that being on there.

Any help from CL members who have installed the F-sport shocks?

EDIT:
i see that my rear old shocks do indeed have a spacer on them - not sure if it is the same diameter, but i am going to presume that they will work for now.

Also, looking at this Sewell parts diagram for the stock front shock, it appears that the collet is integral with the front shock shaft, which is how I think the rears were:
