replacement parts for FK coilovers

yo

i have fk konigsports on the car, and for the rear suspension i'm needing new (don't ask why) dished washers for under the rubber mount, and washers that go on top of the rubber mounts, and new nuts...

i tried VW ones but they don't fit over thread of FK - i could try drilling the washers wider but don't have access to a vice...

any idea where i could get these parts?


cheers,
d

EDIT: gonna email gwent, as i got them from there... hope they sell em

How come you need new washers?

Alan

 

Darrynk, ask them if they sell the replacement inserts for the Konigsports while you're at it

 

darryn,

have the washers crushed and mangled each other like mine did when i fit them?

wasnt sure how tight to go with the rear nuts,guess i went to tight

neil.

 

No, he didnt get any apparently.


How did you mangle them, they are far from flimsy wee things? You must have really gone over the top when fitting them!

 

i dunno andy,i nipped the 17mm nuts at the top of the sleeve,put the rubber bush on,and tightened the next 17mm until it went tight.

there was a banging/clonking on the rear which seems to have gone now?

neil.

 

i have a banging and clonking at the rear - still!!

 

let us know if you get the washers darryn

could do with a set me self

neil.

 

The standard vw ones on my car fit on my fk's

 

certainly won't on mine. thread is different size.

 

same here,corrado btw.

 

My original nuts didn't fit i don't think used fk ones, but the washers did.

 

nah, my washers won't even fit over - nothing except rubber bush does.

 

Hmmm strange what you got kongisports?? ive got highsports maybe they are different.

 

yep,konigsports here.

i couldnt use the original round metal plate either,the one which should go on just before the last nut.

neil.

 

yeah, konigsports here.

maybe they have a wider piston to allow for the damping adjuster?

I had a word with GwentVW @ Inters, they can supply replacement inserts for Konigsport FK's

Need to phone them in the shop to get a price though.

They did tell me that they had to get some for a muppet who was fitting FK's to his Corrado and had used the damping adjuster to stop the piston turning whilst tightening the top mount....... [:^(]
