My track s**t box wasn’t ready in time so I won’t be making it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've seen this on ebay for a couple of years at least! Always wondered as he hasn't touched the price in that time either!

Not to far from me too! May pop along if I get time too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Louis - Gave them a light clean up with some emory paper and they slot straight on. My top hat and collar sit flush, not sure any need for a washer but will try when fully rebuilt & see if i notice any knocking. Thanks for your reply!

I'm also fairly confident that the helper spring should be on the bottom of the main spring opposed to the top as these have been delivered. Does it matter??

Good afternoon Chaps, I’ve just tried to mock build my front struts into the top mounts and hit a problem. The lower insert in the top mount does not fit all the way over the strut piston. It goes over the threads ok but is not big enough in diameter to locate onto the top spring cup. I’ve...
