Right, not much of an update.
But picked up some eccentric top mounts and a nova gsi servo/mc off Olly H the other night.
So set ahead fitting the topmounts today. Not many pics because my hands were too cold to hold the camera steady lol
Coilover off and in bits, old/new top mount

Top mount loosely fitted (all went on without spacers which suprised me etc)

And then all removed again due to the fact i cant tighten the top mount upper nut(piston spins after you turn the nut one turn), and because the nuts so big i cant get to the flats on the piston to hold it..... lol
So ive removed the coilovers for now and refitted my old Koni's.
The plan is to drill out the top nut threads, and then use that as a spacer/to keep the piston central, then just use a washer and a nyloc nut to hold everything. That way i should be able get to the flats to stop the piston spinning whilst tightening the nut up :)
Did have a quick test fit though, and the avos drop much much lower with these top mounts on, on there lowest with 7" springs the wing lip is pretty much touching the tyre..... :thumb:
looking good
have you driven it with the top mounts on?
I fitted mine, and couldn't get it to drive nicely using eye for the castor. Am i just being special?
No i couldn't drive it as i could only get the topmount nut on by one turn, so there was like an inch of play in the top mount........
