Title: Top mount help please!!??!!
Post by: hudmk3 on 27 February 2011, 15:13

Yo

Lowered the beast today and the nut on top of the strut in the bay had literally become one with the strut thread. The only option i could see was to cut thru the top plate and let the strut fall thru. I did this fine but now need to replace it and the nut.

Where is the best place to get these from? Breakers? Are there any specialists?

Just to make sure its the copper coloured bit with the black plastic sleeve that holds the strut in in the engine bay + the nut i need.

Any help or advice always appreciated.

Cheers
