182 cup pack spring options, shocks and top mounts ?

This thread is pretty comprehensive in explaining how these spacers fit with the updated Renault top mounts.

172 new top mount / modified spacer issues

Just fitted some new top mounts to my 172 ph2 and used the modified spacer from Renault. The parts that came off the car were all original and Renault and the shocks were too. When I took the car for a test drive, there was a horrendous clunk from one side. A bit of investigation later and it...

I’ve read on here (and there’s a bit in the above thread) that quite a few people have had issues with these updated/revised top mounts & spacers, so go for the febi version of the original style top mounts - I went for the febi ones when I replaced my top mounts a few years ago and had no issues whatsoever. The febi part number is 37597 If you’re needing replacement items.

edit:- just seen above that you’re looking to use the febi top mounts, so you won’t need those new spacers.

Thats excellent thanks ross. My febi mounts arrived today so all good now for everything to be changed

Can anyone confirm if this is just to be re used on the new top mounts? The febis didn't come with this.

Yup, I just gave them a quick clean up and popped them into the febi ones. They’re only a spacer/landing surface for the top hat/cap to butt up against, so no issues with reusing them.
