hi. i will soon be putting BC coilovers on my focus st170 that have adjustable top mounts. but the adjustable allens will be hidden when fitted.

so could i cut slots in the top suspension mount to give access and avoid removal to adjust???

i will be getting a full corner weighting and setup but dont fancy dropping suspension to make changes.

heres a pic of what i got and thanks if you can advise me please.

 

Yes mate have a look at my build thread, I have cut mine out.

 

thanks. i have seen your build thread and did notice what you had done but wasnt sure if you had done extra welding for strenghth?. will be going back to take a look again so thanks

 

I will put some better pics up, we did make a Ali ring for it to sit on, as the top of the tower is a strange shape.

 

great build you got going on too. i have been watching the thread for a while. my car will be a poor mans version of yours lol. actually a very poor version.

 

if i was to cut slots in the top of tower would it need strenghening or be ok??

 

I would still try and get a plate in there if poss, but as you will find out the twin sheet system they used on the tower is tough as balls

 

Put a few more on the last page of thread for you to look at, but bear in mind that ours had diff mounting holes to your so should be easier for you.

 

thanks i appreciate your help. is the steel that thick on top of tower or have you added to it underneath?

EDIT just checked your thread and you answered my question. did you weld it in or just allow the bolts to hold it?

 

Just bolts mate, won't go any where,
