cambertops spacers

[.wolfwood]

hey all i few people have told me that i need to get some sorta of spacer made up for my t3camber tops for some reason.

can anyone tell me why i need to do this and what i need to get. a picture tells a 1000words if someone has one.

ta ben

[ae71neo]

So this doesnt happen..

*edit* whoops, huge pic..

[.wolfwood]

ahh i c thanks.

still would like a pic of what some one has used

[.wolfwood]

i dont seem to have that problem with the bolts though. ae71neo the picture that you have there has long ass bolts coming through and hitting the upper hat.

the t3 camber tops with the t3 upperhat system dont fowl on anything. so i still need the spacer

[ae71neo]

Oh well if you have that upper hat system, i dont think you need a spacer..

[ae71neo]

And this is how i fixed mine, getting T3 upper hat system soon.

[ae71neo]

Has anyone use the T3 upper hat system with cusco tops? It still looks like its going to hit the screws so i will still need spacers...

[.wolfwood]

holey fark taht spacer is huge. i would tkae pic of what mine looks like but i dont have camera cable. its gone missing eak.

maybe some paint skills

[.wolfwood]

pic of problem and y i dont usderstand y i need a spacer. soz paint skills arnt as good as they used to be

[rthy]

i dont see how that will work because the spring hat doesnt need camber?

[.wolfwood]

^^ dont worry about it i dont really know how to explane that. but really i just want to know if i need a spacer or not.

maybe i have no idea what im on about cuz im smoking crack.

on second thought the hole camner thingy. if i put it all on the schock and spring and that i wound have seen how it really works and i wouldnt have made myself look like a fool. oh well shit happenes.

i dont pretend to know much about cars so shit happens.

but still do i need a spacer???

i got a small 4mm space with my cusco strut top but with stock spring hat
edit: and never had problems with it hitting the hat or anything http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[ae71neo]

Yeah i got that little 4mm spacer, but i dont have stock spring hats, so it hits http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif

are you using a ae86 strut or ke70 strut?

get a "raised upper hat" from noltec.

a normal top hat in the shape of a 'cylindrical pyramid"

That black ball, is that part of the cambertop?

[ae71neo]

Any bearing shop should have spacers.

Im using a AE86 strut.

That black thing is the 4mm spacer + shadow http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif And yeah it came with the tops.

[ae71neo]

Anymore info on this raised upper hat from noltec?

I've searched the website and the full catalogue and no mention of it..

[xolent]

by that black thing i mean that black semiphere thing, that's part of the washers?

hmm... did you just go down to a bearing shop and they flipped out what you needed?

[ae71neo]

Maybe this might show it a bit better?

[.wolfwood]

yes that does show it a bit better. on closer inspection i dont think im going to have a problem. the t3 camber tops dont have any nuts sticking out the bottom that hit on the spring hat so i shold be fine

[parrot]

Why don't you email Gabe and ask him. Always very helpful and sometimes on the forum.

[rokutofu]

hi all,
Has anyone used T3 cambertops together with GAB adjustable shocks? Were there any complications or extra parts needed? ie. this spacer or nut that i've been reading about?

[ghetto ke]

As the pics don't work I'm guessing this threads question relates to the needle bearing arrangment on the upperhat on T3 front coilovers and the washer/spacer that these run on between the camber-top and strut???

[RobertoX]

i have machined spacers now, that work much better than the t3 items
