compbrake top mount issues - puglove - 24-06-2012
[attachment=1551]Right so bought some of Eds super special top mounts (the compbrake ones)
Upon purchasing these the guy was searching through the box saying to him self "are these the 306 ones" after handing them over to me i asked " these are the 306 ones" and all i got back was yes! fair enough this is his product he knows what hes doing,
So after begging my mechanic to get these fitted for me before pugfest (because i simply have not got the time to do it myself between now and next weekend) he agrees to come in sunday and chuck them in for me............ fair play good man, untill i get the phone call say " Are you sure these are the right ones" so after going up to see him and see what the score was they are miles to small , they are defiantly not the correct ones even know the part number on the packaging relates to the 306 ones on web site, so im now £110 down on the top mounts and £50 down on wasting mikes time today and making me look a tit in the process so no top mounts for pugfest and no hill clime. im fuming right now
So some quick pics

These don't fit a 306. They have to be made to fit. You have to redrill some holes and line them up.

Beat me to it ^^^^
RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - puglove - 24-06-2012
No you only need to elongate ONE hole and these ones are miles out, not even any where near the hole you need to adjust, iv spoke to Ed about it, these ones are nothing like Ed's ones either

RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - Scott - 24-06-2012
You only need to make one hole slightly larger if you want to use the standard bolt positioninig. They should fit in the existing holes anyway if you don't want to start drilling your struts.

Cable ties. Done.

RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - puglove - 24-06-2012
Right that doesn't show me anything? lol
Do yours have holes all the way round or just 5 either side?
There is no way i can see to make these fit due to the distance between holes?
This picture here see how the threaded holes are actually in the top mount hole and no where near the hole you need to stretch slightly
Scott you seem to know what im talking about with only needing to adjust one hole.
RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - Chris - 24-06-2012
Look like the 205 ones.
Just weld in some half moons and drill the holes out.
What everyones done for ages over on the 6 forum.
RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - Scott - 24-06-2012
I'm sure if you let them know they'll send you a new set and some money back for the inconvenience
RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - Matt - 24-06-2012
They do look to small. But I can't really speak as I have no experience with these.
Hope you get it sorted mate

Yeah i have emailed them explaining the issue and some pics, had to delete and rewrite it as it was REALLY shit to start with and i thought this isnt going to get me no where so tried to calm down and be a bit more polite, after all its a mistake and we all make them!

RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - Pompey306mark - 24-06-2012
Mine dont have holes all the way around. I just rotated the mount til two lined up.
The one hole at the front of my pics is slightly out and I guess this is the hole Scott is talking about making bigger.

RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - puglove - 25-06-2012
I have just been on the phone, real nice guy. Still unsure of the problem is at this moment in time. But it does sound promising that issue will be resolved quickly. So fingers crossed
RE: Sooo f**ked off with compbrake right now - compbrakemotorsport - 25-06-2012

I must say that I do like companies that actually give a shit when things like this happen and try to sort them out quickly instead of ignoring them and hoping that they go away.
Especially that you have bothered to come on here and post an update

RE: compbrake top mount issues - Scott - 03-07-2012

It's nice to see a company going out of their way to get things resolved as quickly as possible.

compbrake top mount issues - Ed Doe - 03-07-2012
Just to clarify, mine have tapped holes all round the perimeter of the topmounts. The reason why you're getting a gap is because you can't keep rotating them as yours have far fewer holes round the edge by comparison to mine. As already said I only had to mildly modify one of the holes so you can get 4bolts through. I've not even bothered this time round yet, so they're still secured with 3...!
I'm sure Iain will sort them, he was incredibly helpful when I was sorting mine out! Have you asked him for ones with holes round the entire perimeter yet?

Yes mate thats what he is looking at doing, He is going to send me out the one same as yours. I have had a good old chat with him over the phone a few times now and like you say very helpful. It would apear the ones i have are over all smaller but carry the correct part number this is where the confusion is coming from. But im not worried as im very confident this will be sorted and im in no rush as im waiting to fit my beam mounts at the same time and they arnt here yet anyway
