Re: strut tops work in progress
Looks like my much slowness in starting my Mk1 project is allowing the parts I need to be developed . I do have some good (I think, maybe not ) original ones but as they are at least 25 years old, maybe some new production ones would be better!

Re: strut tops work in progress
I will have 2 sets for testing available this week. One set for Europe and one set for UK. Once I am happy with tester feedback they will then be available.

Re: strut tops work in progress
Wow wow wow.... Very very interesting!!!
I'm planning to rebuild my GLT for this summer, I can be VERY interested!!
I'm unhappy with the old top mounts I had to use again on my restored struts, frustration because the springs, shocks, brake disks, calipers, bearings etc... are new. Not the strut tops
Nice work mate, looks impressive!

Re: strut tops work in progress
Glad to here they are now seeing some use.
It would be good if you take them off to inspect after a few weeks and then maybe a few months to prove that they are lasting as they should.

Re: strut tops work in progress
I'm going to give Dai detailed feedback in person, but so far, so good. Totally agree about taking them apart, and that shouldn't be an issue.
