    Default Strut tops Ra60/ strut removal

    Hi all
    so on a bit of a mission with a custom setup im making for my ra60 front suspension

    i need to know if Ma70 or Jza80 strut tops will fit it the ra60 i.e bolts line up...

    Can anyone confirm this for me?

    also im having trouble getting the strut insert out.. i cant remove the top hat that screws in... normally thes are shaped like a hexagon or similar but in this its round so i cant get anything onto it... any recomendations guys?

    thanks

    you'll be looking for MA61/RA65/SA63/MZ10/MZ12 bits.

    yeah im looking for non standard fitting strut tops.

    Im using if all goes to plan Jza80 springs which require a narrower strut top to house the spring. ma70 or jza80 would be perfect if they would fit

    well i can confirm A70 dont fit easily.. could with some slight drolling of the holes.
    S13 seems to fit depending whats cheaper will make the decision for me..

    it looks like it'll be s13 tho as these have camber adjustment and a70 dont.

    Stillsons (monkey wrench/pipe wrench whatever you call them) are the go for big nuts that are rounded off.
