Coil Over Issue
Morning All,
I’m looking to replace a couple of the coil overs on the project.
I thought it would be straightforward....
I can buy the correct length and diameter but it’s the fixing bolt size that is the issue.
I need coil overs to accept 5/8 (16mm) bolts but they all seem to be 12mm now.....
Gaz and Spax are my preferred brands but what other makes are recommended?
Is my only option custom made?
I will keep searching..
Thanks for reading.

Could you not use top hats on the mounts, to sleeve the holes in the mounting brackets down to 12mm?
Or are you building a lorry?

Thanks both!
It sometimes feels like I’m building a lorry.......lol
Are top hats readily available anywhere or is it a diy job?
Ahh! Jag, that’s good to know.
