TBH I'm unsure, I can only get 2 holes to line up on the strut tower, not all 3 as per this photo -

I saw these below mounts in the RPM section and it made me realise why they dont fit as there is a piece missing, I think !

I had these before I fitted the RPM topmounts.

The aluminium eccentric part fits at the inside of the turret top, and you have to elongate 2 of the 3 mounting holes to get them to fit.

You dont need the original rubber topmount (which you may have just shown to illustrate)

Hi Tom

Ours are a completely different design to the ones you have.

Yours are a one piece mount that rotates to give you adjustment, unfortunately you can adjust camber and castor independantly and the adjustment is limited.

I can supply spares for your mounts though if you do need anything.

Or better still upgrade to ours ;)

Thanks for the advise guys.

Am I actually missing anything from my current topmount ? I cant believe a company like Gaz makes the mounts like this and expect you to elongate the turrent holes ?? :?
