Default FAO people with gaz coilovers

I need to get my resto shell rolling pretty soon so i went to fit a few bits and pieces tonight. When it came to the coilovers (GAZ) it seems like there is a top mount missing.
They currently just have an alloy plate which hold the springs on but this doesnt fit very well into the bush of the inner wing.

Do i need to fit a standard top spring cup on top of the alloy one so it all fits properly?


Any pics would be helpfull.

Hopefully what i typed has made some sense


Mart.

I think you must use the orig top mounts mate but not sure about the alloy bit ya mention. Not fitted coilovers myself but remember seeing a guide in fast ford about it.
Good luck.
Steve

Thanks steve,

I also think i need to use the original mount (sold it with the Koni's )
The alloy plate is a spring retainer - im just not sure if i need anything between this alloy and original top mount.

Anyone else?
