Coilover covers

[Jekyll]

Has anyone used them on the 1*2 coilovers?

I'm thinking of getting a set for my Gaz's.

 

[Craig]

Hasn't @MarcR™ got some on his?

 

[Jekyll]

These are what I like the look of.

I made mine at a local guy who makes bags, wallets and stuff. He had a material that looked like waterproof and quite sturdy so I'm pleased with the result

In motocross we use tights because gypsies.

 

[Martin.]

You'll probably want to make sure the material is breathable, otherwise it could cause dampness at increase rust.

I use these http://www.motamec.com/motamec-spri...ector-shock-bag-black-16-406mm-long-pair.html

and spray the coilovers themselves with http://www.acf-50.co.uk/aviation.htm

if using them on the road or rally..

 

[Jekyll]

@SIP Have you got any pics of them fitted? These were what i was looking at originally.

Also what coilovers are you on?

 

[cs_dave]

Also intrested @SIP

 

[SIP]

Bilsteins B14 .. Ill try and post a pic tomorrow..

 

[Jekyll]

That would be pefect. Im on b14s and dave is looking into a set also, so would be great to see some pics.

 

[cs_dave]

Shocks in socks ..

 

[robmuns]

Brought this from ebay and just going to stich it together to the right size and cable tie it on.. Hopefully will work and be a cheap way of doing it

 

[leedsboy]

Shocks in socks ..

They look good and actually cover the rest of the threads unlike the ones I've seen.

 

[Jekyll]

Yep, thats me sold on the motamec ones!

Thanks @SIP

 

[SIP]

Yeah the Motamec ones are made or Cordura which is a much better fabric than rip stop nylon .. which is a bit thin IMO.. quality wise the feel and look good. make sure you order the correct length.

How much? Dont look quite as well made as the others tbf but if they keep s**t out job done

 

[neil a]

Think i paid £15 for 4 posted , i have removed 1 to check and no dirt has been getting through. I covered the coilovers in chain wax before fitting the covers.

Well so far the bloke has answered every question in silly quick time will see how they are when they arrive. Also just found some acf 50 in the cubard lol. Just waiting on the B14s now.

This ACF 50 stuff is ment to be the nuts (have a google ;-)) at preventing rust so all bolts will have a dose of it

 

[Jekyll]

Theres a link above on that stuff. Will get some me thinks.

 

[cs_dave]

Keep us updated Dave.

Yeh im very pleased feel good quailty i should have the shocks off tonight check the length and how they go on the shock.

 

[Jekyll]

I got the Motamec ones in the end. Ordered yesterday and they came this morning. Qaulity is decent!

In the interest of variety I'm protecting mine with nothing...

They are brand new with grease only under the collars themselves. The car hasn't been washed or driven since they've been fitted but I'm still not sold on the idea of them not being able to breath and keeping moisture in?
