f*cking compbrake top mounts

[Jonny b]

Right I have the top mounts that are supposedly for a 306 direct fit compbrake say!! Bullshit are they I know you are supposed to elongate one of the holes but even so they are f*cking miles out!!! HELP

[samass]

Sounds like what Jamie had his issue with. Got any pics of the fitment?

[Jonny b]

Ha ha no as I was going to burn the f*cking thing so I put the old struts back in lol, doing a trackway next fri and soo wanted these fitted getting pissed off with em now, can't even fit the coilovers with standard top mounts as the cup is different gggggrrrrrrrr

[samass]

Ah, shit balls!
I know when we did grants spoox ones we had to drill a brand new hole, isn't that the same case with the compbrake ones?

[Jonny b]

i dont mind drilling a hole but i can get any 2 of the threaded holes to line up

[Grant]

You can, you just need to have caster as well as camber...

Mine:





And these are the top cups you need. £20 plus postage from GAZ. Spoox wanted £60 so bargain IMO

---

I had to drill the hole at 4 o'clock mate

These will make such a difference to your drive experience, fapping epic

[puglove]

Hate to say.................................f*ck it no i dont!


I told you check them first!!!

i refur you to this thread > http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-4439.html

Was it like this far out ? lol

[Jonny b]

Grant get your arse over to mine on sunday and sort it



Mine are all assembled ready to fit or so I thought lol

Puglove yep

[Grant]

Lol Jonny

My topmounts do exactly the same re: the bolt holes, you can just see it at the 6 o'clock

Have you got the new topcups?

[Jonny b]

yep, nials coming over on sunday to help me do my beam mounts, get your arse over and sort it!! free bbq lol

[puglove]

Sorry to hijack jonny,

Grant- whats with the top cups? do you have to have them? also what coilies are you running?

[Grant]

Haha he can do your f*cking beam mounts, PITA, let him enjoy it.

I may be around sunday about 3 if thats any use?

[Jonny b]

you know me bud iam easy gigidy i just want to get them on, they came off a 306 so they should go back on ha ha, maybe iam just thinking too much

[Grant]

Jamie, the top cups allow the strut to sit at an angle on the top mount. If you imagine the standard cup (as is in my first picture lying there astrew) on the topmount, only a portion of it will be making contact with the top mount as you are running camber.

With the dished top mounts, imagine them as a lampshade top. The allow the strut to sit directly on the roller bearing. This is the correct way of fitting shocks to E/T's

This picture explains it the best i think



Hope that sorta made sense


And im rocking V-Maxx shocks. Rep them to the end of earth lol

[puglove]

Sweet linky please ?


And yes that does make perfect sence

[Jonny b]

Like this

[Grant]

Thats the kiddy Jonny.

That should all go on fine, just need that hole drilling

[puglove]

After you two mentioning this i wouldnt even attempt to fit them with the flat cups, cant be no good for the mount or the coilies,


Had a quick google search and cant find anything, could one of you two gents point me in the right direction please?

[Grant]

[Jonny b]

[Ed Doe]

Johnny I promise in the next couple of hours when I get out of bed I'll go take photos of my topmounts in situ.

Yours deffos dont look like the right ones for a 306 though.... mine had holes round the entire perimeter of the units...


This is a fitting photo from my old Diablo, theyre in a more aggressive position now
