rear beam mounts recommendations - Magenta Sunset - 24-06-2016

if you have supplier, part num, & apprx price that'd be ace!

I am also using febi beam mounts, the rear of the car felt excellent on a recent sprint day.

where's the 'best place to shop'?
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - MY95 - 25-06-2016
I find Misterauto the cheapest and delivers very quickly, bought loads from them recently.

No idea where 'misterauto' appeared from but I've also used them and can't complain.
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - JTaylor2005 - 01-07-2016
I was the same. I had never heard of them but they were fantastic. In fact I shall also be getting more stuff from them including rear beam mounts. Their site also has good photos and descriptions of stuff which is nice.

found some reduced price febi's on fleabay so bought them. (aceparts_uk)
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - Tom85 - 02-07-2016
Another vote for Febi - fitted some last year and they were spot on.

That could well have been who mine were from off the bay of E. They feel very nice along with a rebuilt rear axle.

sand-blasted used beam (informed it was good) repainted with spray hammer, & fitted in time for end of month hols.

The axle is easy enough to swap, a couple of things that will hold you up if you are not prepared:
You can either disconnect the calipers and then reconnect them, or it is possible to remove the rear beam without disconnecting the rear brake lines from the caliper, but difficult to get the beam out between the lines. If you do disconnect them, unions can be difficult to undo, lines can twist etc. so make sure you are able to deal with this if it happens.
The beam mounts through the floor require a deep 16mm socket, which is an uncommon size and not in a lot of socket sets, so check that you have one beforehand. If you need one and can't find one in a shop eh. Halfords, a 16mm spark plug socket is an option.

cheers, but i'll speak to a 'man that can'
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - RetroPug - 02-07-2016
I suppose making someone else do it is being fairly well prepared.
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - adam b - 03-07-2016
16mm deep socket is in most sets - it's the same as the spark plug size
Edit: read all that post doh

man that can has more tools, space, and practice than I can throw hot tea at
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - Toseland's Ghost - 05-07-2016
ECP do Febi reasonably cheaply, especially with discounts..
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - welshpug - 05-07-2016
most non budget brands will be fine, using o.e on my car though.

How much are you paying for the beam to be refurbished? If you don't mind me asking?
RE: rear beam mounts recommendations - Magenta Sunset - 20-09-2016
I got some Febi ones from Aceparts_uk on Ebay
