top mounts

[bob wiggins]

has any one got a picture of alloy top mounts and the sleeves and nuts before they have been assembled , ive bought some and cant manage to put them together without play in the tops think i might have a piece of the kit missing thanks in advance

m8 you need the tophats that go indide the bearing and you drill them out to suit the strut insert

[bob wiggins]

mate i did that still seems theres something missing just dont understand it and need it sorted by this weekend

[Twinkle]

put some pics of what you do have and how they are fitted

[bob wiggins]

sorry mate cant do dont have a clue how to do that which is why i asked if anyone had pictures of the kit before assembly

[Gareth]

I had the same problems wit some RTM's I bought,

 

had to put a spacer under the nut

have yuo got the correct nut on the top? my nut slides into the bearing

[bob wiggins]

my nut slides into a coller which sits inside the bearing,well it would do if the top of the strut wasnt as long as it is because the nut wont go down further than the thread on the strut top ,seems as thouth the rod on the top of the insert is an inch too long ,the struts are billies and the tops are identical as a pair of rs2000 legs that i have

my top hat nut was supplyed over size and then you cut it down to suit i had to take 15mm off mine but now all sorted my legs are billies with rally design r/j top mounts
