help needed please , the time as come for me to try and get me escort cossie track car back together but am havin couple off problems with the strut top mounts av bought some pro flex coilovers that have canisters on but ant sure as to where or how to mount the canisters and also what top mounts to buy to use with them
there aint a proplem cutting the strut top on the car if need be

a couple off pics off the coilovers am talking about

has eny one got eny pic off the same coilovers on ther car or help in finding some whereto buy the write top mounts thanx ted

 

what style do you want (rubber mounts, spherical bearings, concentric, eccentric, adjustable, fixed, etc), what's the car going to be used for, and what's your budget ?

 

Obviously this is a serious track car as opposed to everyday car/track car.
I would get adjustable top mounts for castor camber, these normally have a centre bearing so that the strut fits into it, may have to use a few spacers etc but anyone that supplies these should be able to advise.

the car that this is geting fitted to is a full on track car if u look in parts wanted u can see the car

write a no abit about the plans with the car as teds told me the plans , he is looking to use spherical type bearing , so that he can ajust the camber and caster

 

12 or 14mm top insert ?

 

nuts
there are 14mm inserts

 

We have plain doughnut type with 20mm bearings and 14mm sleeved inserts with a M14x1.5mm nut available or eccentric 110mm ones with the same hardware, or plain ones with the same.

Do you have adjustable bottom end ?

We have adjustable track control arms for camber and adjustable compression strut kits for castor.

If you move the wheel about at the bottom then sometimes a plain top mount will suffice.

I can't see a problem with the top mounts that Tony mentions, just have to fit the cannister under the wheel arch with that type of Proflex.
