Coilover fitting help



  Williams Clio
Ok im a little confused and just wanted to check i was assembling my coilovers correctly so i can have a go at fitting them tomorrow. There H&R coilovers and are going on to my williams. I bought a new top mount kit from renault and have just had a go at putting them together. So is this correct?

The strut is then installed and the top rubber mount is screwed down from under the bonnet

Is there anything missing?

I also have two nuts that can be seen in the first picture one came with the coilovers and one with the top mount kit from renault. Do i need both? where exactly do they go?

Thanks adi

The two nuts that came with the renault kit go on after the donut along with a copper washer, make sure you grease it up like a fat birds bath the rest of the lay out is right

Ok i got one nut with the renault kit and one with the coilovers and no copper washer? The haynes manual says something about a retaining collar and retaining clip?

Ok think i have most of it sorted after looking at the haynes manual and renault dialogys.

The one thing im unsure about is there seems to be two different options for the retaining clip and spacer. One uses a clip with a 45degree chamfered spacer and the other uses a non chamfered spacer and a nut. Which one will i need to use with my coilovers?

I already have kit 12 which comes with the nut so im guessing i should just order the spacer labelled 6?
