Default GAZ top adjustables9not coil overs)

Picked up an unused rear pair of these that I want to put on when I rebuild the car (fronts to match would be nice, funds allowing.
Question - I have no idea how to adjust these and their website is as helpful as a chocolate teapot.
Also the burton catalogue shows these with fancy bump stops which didn't come supplied, will the cars standard ones fit?

Standard bump stops should fit. There should be either an adjuster knob on the back of the shock or on the top a small nut just above the thread. Screw anti clockwise to soften and clockwise to stiffen
Hope this helps

Thanks Marc,

they have the small nuts on the top. Not sure what they are set at but seem pretty stiff One of my front shocks is goosed so a good excuse to get a pair of Gaz for the front end too
