strut top holes incorrect help asap.
my rs2k mk2 is away for its strut tops to be welded in.i have bought large hole and small hole ones now.
my problem is the rubber roller mount that bolts thru the strut top,,,,,, the holes are not in the same place as the original strut top mount holes. somebody has redrilled three holes which are slightly larger and different orientation to these original holes that you should bolt strut tops to.
bilstein group1 struts and roller bearings fitted.
any ideas how i overcome this, so that i use the original holes to mount the struts to the weld in tops?
as it stands the holes at the moment bolt thru my numbers and is shit looking...?
do i change the top mount to something different/?
[COLOR=#BCBCBC][FONT=tahoma]ideas pls as my welder is on hold...

Re: strut top holes incorrect help asap.
do i have to weld up original holes in strut tops. then turn the roller rubber mount around,and redrill the holes in the strut top?
is there another way to do it?
different mount etc? or is it just the way its needed to be done to fit the roller mounts?

If you use the small hole re-inforcement top-plates then you have to enlarge the (big) hole.
If you want to use the original (3) holes in the strut-top-plate then offer up the roller topmount to the top-plate from below, mark where the holes are on top of the mount, drill new holes where the marks are and weld on 3 bolts point upwards. You then can use 3 nuts to mount the rollermount on to the innerwing topplate.
If you know what I mean ...
