Rear coilover adjuster bit; what's it called? Can you buy spares?

[ScarySquirrel]

Hi all,

Firstly, what is this bit actually called? The platform thing that spins, and also the thing it spins on:

Secondly, mine are completely stuck because the allen key hole bit is completely rounded off (not sure if that's the right terminology), which means I cannot untighten it, so if I try and adjust the coilovers the whole bloody thing just spins.

Any idea where I can get replacement parts? They're Ktec coilovers so I've contacted Ktec, not heard back yet, so just wondered if anyone else has had this happen?

Thanks

K tec should be able to supply u with new ones, I've seen this a few times with coilovers mate

Thanks, I'll wait to see what they come back with in that case.

Most coil over spring platforms should be similar so I would see if any other suppliers can help you out

use a big flat screwdriver and hammer to move them

Thanks, I'll have a ring around.

If worse comes to the worst and you can't get hold of any could you not drill out the allen key grub screw and then retap the hole for a bigger one? Maybe an option if you struggle and would be cheaper

I wouldn't have a clue how to do that

Sorry I would offer to do it for you but distance is a slight issue

It's the thought that counts Thanks anyway.

I can live with it for now, just need to sort something out eventually as the back needs to be raised about 5-10mm.
