f*cking compbrake top mounts - Jonny b - 07-09-2012

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

RE: f*cking compbrake top mounts - samass - 07-09-2012

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

f*cking compbrake top mounts - Jonny b - 07-09-2012

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

RE: f*cking compbrake top mounts - samass - 07-09-2012

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?

RE: f*cking compbrake top mounts - Jonny b - 07-09-2012

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

RE: f*cking compbrake top mounts - Grant - 07-09-2012

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

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

Sorry to hijack jonny,

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

RE: f*cking compbrake top mounts - Grant - 07-09-2012

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?

RE: f*cking compbrake top mounts - Jonny b - 07-09-2012

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

RE: f*cking compbrake top mounts - Grant - 07-09-2012

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

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...
