Suspension top mount nuts

[Toad 0]

I need to buy a few bits for my konis, is there an email address or phone number to contact them?

[Critical_Mass 10]

I think they're M12, but not 100%. Didnt see any M11s when i was at the shop.

 

Toad - I've contacted a distributer of Koni kits and have emailed them - no response yet. I've also gone onto the official Koni site and emailed the address I found on there, but the email came back as 'unable to deliver' !?

 

This is the distributor i contacted - [email protected]

 

This is the koni address - [email protected]

 

http://www.koni.uk.com/home/component/o ... /Itemid,3/ - telephone number on there mate. I'm going to try give them a ring tomorrow.

Right, after getting in touch with Koni UK, they told me Larkspeed who were down the road from me could order them for me. However, Koni UK dont have them in stock (strange) and are apparently having to order these top mount nuts from Koni NL who then will send them onto Koni UK and then onto Larkspeed (farce). 2-3 weeks after going to speak to Larkspeed and being told the above, I was told that they havent come in yet and he 'asssumes they've been ordered' - he was the one on the phone to Koni UK who were suppose to order them.

 

Anyway, Im not holding my breath that they have ordered them. Is there anywhere else I can get to order them, do g-werks supply Koni suspension, and if not could they get hold of some for me anyway? Or does anyone happen to have some laying around they no longer need.

 

Its the thread that is the problem, i can get the right diameter nut just not a fine enough thread. :(

 

Cheers

Gaz,

 

Get to 'Bap for Bolts' in Barnsley if you are in a rush. If you take the nut you need or the item you are trying to screw :camp: then the guys will no doubt help. They will also have the washers. have helped me no end of times - good lads & 'rado fans :D

Is this the place Vag http://www.bappbarnsley.co.uk/

 

How lucky is that, theres a Bapp 2 doors down from the VAG Specialist i go to in Castleford :D

 

You say i can just walk in i.e. they deal direnctly with the public?

i find this weird, has no one else had this problem before? am sure i've heard of lots of people with the koni suspension.

 

must be a nightmare, are you sure they are the correct shocks?

That be the place me old. They will deal with you & in small numbers too. Ive been in & bought 6/10 nuts at a time & they are soooo cheap (you may say you can buy em for nuts - but i wont cos it would NOT be funny) mate! Cant say enough good words :D

 

Happy shopping.

[Critical_Mass 10]

Nice one Vag, being trying to get these for too long.

 

2CM- The problem was i bought them second hand from here, from Steve@. Who in turn bought them from someone else. The person Steve got them off didnt sell the nuts with the shocks, well not all 6 anyway. I have one nut eachside.

You sorted your nuts out yet man?!? 8)

[Critical_Mass 10]

No not yet mate, tried to get down after work last night but the place closes at 4:30 on a Friday. Not open again until Monday now, so going to try get down there after work on monday. But am looking for other similar places that are open on a weekend.

If its the rear all you need to do is drill out the plates with 12mm drill. Ive done this in last couple of weeks and they fitted fine after doing this. The rear bolts came with the kit mind you. They are 17mm outer and M12 inner IIRC but apart from that identical to the OE stuff. I did get the two rounded washer that fit into the mounts with the kit as well though.

[Critical_Mass 10]

Yeah I will be drilling out the washers. I just need to get hold of the nuts :lol: which is a pain in itself.

cupping them with two hands always works for me :camp:

 

sorry :|

[Critical_Mass 10]

:lol: DOH didnt realise what i'd typed HA!

 

Being able to purchase the fasteners is a right kafuffle in itself ;)

Mr Vag, i owe you pint fella! :D Went to Bapp in Castleford and they had a big bag of M12 1.25 pitch (for future reference to anyone) nuts. Charged me £2 for 6, cant complain at that. Going to ring Larkspeed tomorrow and tell them not to bother ordering me them (if they ever have attempted to order them for me )
