K24R Offset Top Mounts

[Rusty]

Hardware arrived today, so these are now ready to be fitted! Here's the pictures of what goes in to them and various stages of undress

Front mount assembled:-



Rear mount assembled:-



Underside showing bearing retaining screws (the bearings are heat fitted in place, so these do absolutely nothing tbh):-



Nitrile O ring to increase friction when fitting:-



Front mount nearly naked:-

I have a few ideas for design evolution and want to design a cap for the rear and maybe front ones too. There is the option of a simple rubber blanking grommet for a fraction of the price but that wouldn't look too pimp I'm also hoping to design a front top plate that interacts with the strut brace mounts as an anti-rotation feature

Wow very nice! Congratulations on these coming to fruition they look awesome

I might be interested in a rear set, possible a front set if you figure a bar bracket in the front with more castor.


continuing to watch this

Are these fitted yet or what Mr C?

[Rusty]

No, not sure when they will be as things here are busy and are only going to get busier.

Got the rear brake upgrade to fit too... And a window mech to rebuild and door cards to refit and subframe bushes to fit... Oh, and if course an engine to dismantle Need a garage really.

[Error404]

I know that feeling

Well looking forward to hearing how you get on with them

[martinws]

Looking really good. ill probably get a set of these off you at somepoint. I guess the rear ones would fit the front allowing me to fit a strut brace to my typ85 car and the front fit the rear as the typ85 doesnt need a rear brace?

[Rusty]

I'll design a front strut cap. For ease of fitting, I think 1 bolt per side would do it, otherwise, you've got to get the angles spot on...

[Rusty]

Oh, and bear in mind that the bearings are about £80 a pair...

[BorisShakhov]

Hi, mate!

Is it already on sale?

[Rusty]

Got to test the prototypes first!

[BorisShakhov]

Got to test the prototypes first!

I can do it for you, mate

This clunk from OEM mounts will kill me shortly

[BorisShakhov]

Is there any news?

[Audi_CQ]

I'm interested in both a front and rear set. Don't need the rear strut mount as I already have a rear strut brace. No problem using the original strut brace in front?

[Rusty]

Sorry chaps, work and family commitments have made getting things fitted any time soon rather tricky. Will do my best though...
