Rose Jointed Top Mounts

This is a Group N spec replica top mount. It uses the standard rubber or poly top mount bush but removes the standard bearing and the cone. It allows the top mount to sit flat even when the car has a lot of camber.

Made from aircraft spec aluminium.

The pictures do not have the bearing inserted as I pictured the sample that has been sent to me but the price quoted below does include the bearing.

We are putting together a Group Buy for these with a minimum of either 5 or 10 people.

If we get 5 people the price will be £275.00 per pair (plus postage)

10 people it will be £265.00 per pair (plus postage)

OR if we don't get enough people for the group buy they will be £290.00 per pair (plus postage).

Please PM or email sales@rapidford.co.uk with any enquiries or we can be contacted on 01582 696 111 (10:00am-10:00pm)

If you want to add yourself to the Group Buy, please add a post with your name

e.g.
1. Mr Bloggs

We could possibly make a version for the RST if there are 10 interested people.

Cheers

Do the standard bush need trimming to allow fitment?

 

No trimming needed

There are no modifications needed to fit them. You might have to jack the strut up to get it through the bush to tighten the top ring on.

You MUST put some copper slip grease on the threads of the rings to stop them chemical welding themselves together.

 

What does this top mounts do/allow you to do ?

Sorry for beeing a uneducated tard

 

i like these!!!!

 

Would also like to know...

 

When you take the shock out of the hub the shock will still firmly point at the hub it was removed from, as the std top mount has a cone that is pulled into the strut top. So when you adjust the camber or caster you are forcing it to sit in another position so the strut top is under pressure. This will wear the bush and bearings and crack the top cone which is quite common.

These Rose Jointed Top Mounts replace the std top mount but use the std bush without any drilling or mods. They allow full movement of the shock without it twisting the top mount when adjusting the camber and caster like on a std setup, but unlike the normal aftermarket solid top mounts which remove the bush and becomes a little harsh and will wear the shell.

After fitting them it's quite amazing how much proper movement is available.

They come supplied with spacers that will allow fitment to std or coilover shocks. At the moment we have dimensions of coilovers and Konis but I can accomodate other sizes if you can supply me dimensions needed.

 

Hi,i have a 2wd cossie with gaz gold coilover kit will they be ok with these ?

 

Yes - these would be suitable on a 2WD Cossie with Gaz gold coilovers
