I have shot top mounts on a 172 Cup that need replacing. What with the cost ending up being nearer £100 for bothe side because if additional spacers on the new design, or I take a chance on non-OEM parts on eBay, plus the reports of badly seating parts when it's all together (poor desig ), I'd...
Yep, discover this too as I found some other members did too, there's not much choice out there for subframes without fabricating your own/use weld in bars if you want lower ones. For now I'm going to do this (see pic)...albeit with new side mounts as these aren't wide enough for my seat. I...
Yeah, it's the low profile that appeals, FIA markings are not vital anyway. Good to hear you're happy with them, I think I may have to purchase then. Cheers.
Result, good price too, thanks for suggesting. Presumably that price is for one pair? And are there any FIA markings in them - guessing not at this price?
Can anyone help by suggesting a compatible mount with this seat and subframe. The OMP side mounts I have bend back on themselves greater than 90° and therefore don't give me adequate width for the seat. Any drilling would still be too close to the edges of the subframe.
[edit]...because I want to run it in standard production class Hillclimbing/sprints, so I'm not allowed certain changes. Also have to leave all the interior panels installed, expect carpets)
Sorry late reply. Certainly relate to finding peace in the man cave lol! I'm pulling some seriously late nights myself at the mo in order to get the car in a reasonable state prior to my first track day late August at Bedford. My spec (a 172 Cup) is very close to yours except I want to also...
Working under car and this dropped out, given the amount of cowboy sh*t I'm discovering done by past owners, I hope this wasn't doing something important ...lol !!
Nice build, similar to what I'm up to but no time to write up the build yet. Totally jealous of the speed your able to work at and get all this done it's ridiculously quick - well done on that!
BTW, what seat side mounts did you use?
Got the worst b*****d bolt out from the exhaust shield under the car. Was determined not to let the f**ker beat me lol. Why Renault used torx here and not hex bolts with a washer baffles me, oh hang on...of course...cost!
Thanks, it'll be obvious when I study the blow out diagrams. Doing it myself, I fancy the challenge ;) , have all the right Renault gear and timing tools, and I'm not in a rush !
