Cookie Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 My buddy has made a set of rs tops from a repair panel for his, on the repair panel there is an indentation where thr rs tops would be, cut around that (carefully ) then the bit that fold down the wing flatten off and hey presto a rs strut top, when fitted and painted on his car even I was impressed as you would'nt be able to spot the difference

Baz. Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Nice strut brace here m8 http://www.oldfordautos.co.uk/phdi/p1.n ... ent&part=7 How much Hope they make them quicker than the other stuff they have listed Strut braces are on the shelf mate,(and are quality) as for your stuff mate they are made to order as not everyone wants 100E top mounts Tom you have PM
ExotronGammaPlusSequencer Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 as for your stuff mate they are made to order as not everyone wants 100E top mounts Tom you have PM I realise that Baz but i first got in touch over a year ago after reading in Retro ford it was their latest product. They told me they needed finishing & they would put me on the list & contact me when they were done,ive been enquiring throughout the year & they always said the same thing "the bits are all cut & just need to be welded" Im quite prepared to wait while they are made to order but you said they are finished & youd seen them (which led me to believe they have at least one pair made? what else could you have meant) When i saw them listed on the website i rang them up to order a pair & found they will only work if i buy another pair of track control arms at a cost of £162,despite me already having the rest of their kit the top mounts are not compatible unless you buy their latest kit. A shame nobody informed me of that a year ago when they were being developed! This is the 4th thing ive tried to order for the car this week & ive been let down every time-no wonder people give up on projects if this is what happens
DarrenM Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Roy Nunn has them for MK1 and 2's. Tel 01299 877092
Baz. Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 you do need TCA,s mate coz the front legs are pulled in, no good just moving the tops in Jo rang me and i asked on your behalf if you could get discount which i did on your behalf do you want a set of top mounts and TCA's then? as i am down there tomorow, PM me and i will sort it out for you PERSONALY Ok mate
ExotronGammaPlusSequencer Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 you do need TCA,s mate coz the front legs are pulled in, no good just moving the tops in Thanks for explaining that Baz ! I want the tops mounts to give me more negative camber,besides I already have adjustable tca's mate & i have about 10mm worth of thread left on them to bring the bottoms in but apparently that wont be enough. I appreciate your offer mate but the car is built on a budget & i was reluctant to spend £170 for the top mounts so im not gonna spend the same again on the tca's aswell. Shame because thats the one thing that bugs me about the car but it can stay like it now Anyway,back on topic. west wales rally spares do strut braces for £35
