    Exclamation Can anyone here fab/obtain coilover upperhat spacers? Problem with floating T3 hats..

    Without going into the whole "T3 upper hat system" debate, can anyone here fab/obtain some spacers which will locate T3 upper coilover hats on the flats of the shock shaft, thus changing them from a 'floating' design and restricting possible vertical movement? I've noticed a few people here have done this with their coilover setups using T3 upper hats.

    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Explaination:

    I have a rather bad clunking issue on the left strut that I still can't figure out, I believe it may be a problem with the 'floating' upper hat design in my current setup. At the very least, trying spacers and elimiating any possible vertical movement would eliminate this possibility. Why it is happening on one side I cannot figure out - it is NOT the shock loose inside the strut, both struts are undamaged, are the same length and the perches are adjusted to the same height. I have had the strut out numerous times and everything is fine; the car has been up on a hoist and there is no unwanted play in the front end. It may just be that floating hats don't work well with a relatively low spring rate...

    I have seen the issues regarding this. If you have some measurements (preferably pretty accurate) of what you want. I can make some, and have them sent to you.
