BRUMBY Front strut top hats
BRUMBY Front strut top hats
Hey guys im in need of some brumby front top hats.
Ive installed brumby adjustable front struts in my L series but the L series top hats dont allow the top of strut thread through far enough.
if you can contact me on 0435791129 or Yarran@outlook.com
thanks yarran

will i need the upper mount and the upper spring seat?
I have never seen the brumby upper mounts in person but have heard of people using them.
do you just use two out of three of the holes in the L series,
and with the rubber lump to the far side, as in away from the engine?
having trouble finding one
no wreckers will sell them!!
Pretty sure i will need #14 #10 #15

Do you have a lift kit? Could you convert the 2 bolt to 3 bolt via the lift block?

I'm on my phone at work so can't post a link.
And nah no lift kit I jut cut and bashed till 26" wouldn't scrub.
I was assuming I could maybe just use two of the three mounting holes? If they line up that is...
I was thinking today I might be able to drill out the L series upper spring mount so the strut sits inside the seat instead of under it to give me altitude more thread to play with.
Would re-drilling the L strut mount holes be a bad idea?TOONGA wrote:You won't get an MY top hat to fit unless you either re-drill the suspension mount in the "L" or make an adaptor block. I must ask are you using a spring compressor.
TOONGA
Yes I used a spring compressor to remove old suspension and install the Brumby struts and new springs.
Yeah I was thinking of something along those lines thanks steptoe!steptoe wrote:I have seen the result of a kit fitted to some other make where a top was fitted with extra mounting studs, so new holes made. Kit came with reinforcement washers for those redrilled holes. You might consider doing same with reasonably solid washers

I was just thinking, why not just use L.Series adjustable shocks?
