Default Rear Chassis Legs

Just bought a couple for my car, I have read that the original ones are double skinned around the spring cup apparently... does it matter that the ones i have bought are not?

There for an Escort RS Turbo MK4, here is a link to the one I bought

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ESCORT-MK3...item51b34c688e

They are a single skin, can I just replace the original ones with these or do I need the double skinned ones, or can i just reinforce the ones I have?
