markk · 18-07-2008, 09:28 PM

actually started to make up the top mounts i have laser profiled, just need to have the centre bearing holders turned yet, but you can see the shape after I tig welded the two halves together, and made a few spares

not a massive update - but its a slow project a the minute !

Hi mate have you been trying to contact me ?

I can help with conversational help but i cant make any physical at the moment, really busy with work and some property, hence why i havent touched my own car for a month

just call me if your stuck mate.

BRIGSPORT · 19-07-2008, 12:50 PM

Ok mate, i just need to know what lines and fittings to buy, and where from. I'll give you a shout soon. Best of luck with the car.

i wouldn tuse quaife products anymore, they used to be good, and the diff mount is no heavier than the group a alloy item, only lighter in the pocket once you have bought one !

markk · 04-08-2008, 01:07 AM

top mount bearing carriers,
after a few hours on this

i came up with 8 of these

with circlip groove to hold the bearing in over jumps

bearing in

makes a rear top mount
