gaz coilovers

i got a set of gaz coilovers for my Haynes roadster from rally designs but they don't fit my brackets so i was wondering if i can drill the standard bushes out and fit a set of poly-bushes with a collar to pack out the bracket i was just wondering weather it was worth doing or should i return them and try and get some with a wider eye?

Which way do they not fit?

Too wide to fit in the brackets or the bolt hole is too small in the shock eye.

That's exactly what I was going to say or get a pair of nice shaped spacers turned.

as soon as i get my bottom arms back from being anodized then i will get some spacers made up i think the trouble is i bought a part built kit which has had three owners so far and i don't think its got parts from one source i know the chassis is a Haynes book one but the trailing arms are from a westfield and i think half the brackets are right im going to have to check each one

The spacers that are beveled for Rose joints are the ones you want.
