I believe you are referring to the A1 M8 end pieces others have used.
My thanks to Bill is based on him noting that the B1 M8 pieces are 5mm longer than the A1 ends, adding 10mm to the overall length, which matches the Van's kit strut OAL. This brings the door up to full height, whereas the A1 ends leave the OAL of the struts 1/2" shorter; doing the math, that leaves the door hanging down a few inches at the end.
Bansbach does not have a 10mm thick M8 end piece 25mm in length. Someone out there in the world probably makes a 25mm long end piece that is 10mm thick with M8 threads, but I felt that searching for that was more time than the one minute each I spent on the B1 M8 ends to mill them from 12 to 10mm thickness.
