Nice work... it seems to be revving up nice and crisply. I am assuming that the map is almost spot on then?
Still on a base map at the mo will, though she will be getting another one that Dar is getting his mits on.Quote:

Is that your topmount on the shock in those pics? If it is it looks to be on upside down. C clip should be pointing at the shock not up as there is always a chance the clip could be popped out and cause a suspension failure.

I run them like that too :)
My personal reason for this, is 'CompBrake' who sold me them failed to mention that i'd either have to start by opening up the strut hole in the engine bay to get full adjustment, or I'd have to take my brand new eccentric top mounts, that I have correctly bought, for a Nova, to a machine shop to get the raised part machined down, to get full adjustment.
Both of which IMO, is shocking that they continue to sell such crap items knowing full well that they cannot be fitted with full adjustment.
So, just run them upside down, no chopping of engine bays, and no taking brand new items that are correctly bought, to be corrected! ;) no problems yet, and never heard of any either...

Mine were machine down and on my last car ran the other way up, i have been told by almost everyone who runs them that they should be used this way up, with the nipple down..so if it works alright for everyone els it'll do me too.Quote:

I've asked about how strong a C clip is and the answer was very. I've always ran mine this way and have never had a problem and I'm not exactly gentle. For example I snapped a brand new hub in less than a year but the topmounts have been in, taking all the abuse and off's for years now.
Yes I agree it looks wrong and the C clip should be on the other side. However they are more than strong enough for our use. If I was running a rally car in a forest stage I would get some made up properly but I/we arn't so there is no need.
I just thought if there was a chance of a failure in that area and it could be avoided then you would like to know about it.
My eccentric top mounts required no machining and were a straight fit.
