I'm guessing it's these ones we are talking about Damper Knob Adjustment : Suspension Upgrades : Megan Racing Performance
They are the units that I'm talking about. You surely want the 250mm length if you intend to mount it through the trunk liner with a grommet. I first used a plastic grommet but found that the jacketing on the shaft stuck to it. So, I later changed it to a metal grommet.

Also, it has a single locking hex head screw. I decided to drill and tap two more to give me a triangular lock that I could use to center the head on the damper. You may also want to use Locktite on the locking screws for just a little added safety. You may also want to look around for a VERY long hex wrench tool so that you can reach the damper head if they are already mounted in the car.

Another note: It's been a while since I installed the Megan remotes and being 75 my memory is not too good. But, I recall that I had to cut down the 250mm adjuster to get a proper arc, free of binding, over the fuel plumbing on the left rear. You just loosen the set screw on the handle, cut back the casing and then cut back the internal connecting shaft.
