Yeah one is still good but the cracking I dont like in one of them!
I was thinking using the old Rallye top mounts off my old struts do you guys think it will be okay to use those of the Rallye I kept?
Those Rallye ones look stronger and no cracking on them I think they will fit?  :undecided:

I've never driven the car yet!
Its still being restored.
I dropped out the suspension to fix the brakes and clean them up.
You just can't tell with top mounts until you see them, plus I didnt like the play on them and the fact it had been lowered so low for many years it was going to have issues.
Just becuase the car was so low the whole suspension including wishbones and bushes are finished.
I've ordered about £300 of parts just to fix these problems!  :rolleyes:

For what they cost you would be wise to replace them.
