They don't fit the other way round.
Tried it, the other way round the hole in the bracket is too small for the bolt
I have been sent the correct kit????

The only thing I believe that varies in the kits is just the length of the dampers the brackets and fixing are all the same.

It just looks like u have the left on the right and the right on the left, the brackets have little stickers telling u what side on where left and right fitment is.

If u have a look on page 6 of the thread there is other members bugeye with them fitted correctly... Maybe take a peek

Already tried to swap round and the holes in the brakets don't line up with the original hole for the bolt.
Will go and have another look just incase but sure it did not fit.

Either drill it out and re-tap the thread or use a easy out kit, this allows you to drill small hole in the broken bolt or stud and reverse tool that screws into the hole to allow removal.
Would soak with plus gas or wd40 first or some heat, which will be tricky near paint work.

Thanks mate, not over confident with the re-tapping, and wouldnt the hole them be too big for the screw? Where would I go for these easy out kits? is it a B&Q job? (I'm far from diy/mechanicaly minded ot able!!) lol

Hmm of all the people for this to happen to !! U was prob the most worried about it been difficult and now it turns out its gonna b a pita job.

U need to find a way of getting it out without damaging the thread obviously as the new part that goes in there is made to messure. I would either pop to halfords and see what they have or take it to a garage I'm sure it will be a ten min job for them to get it out... Is there nothing u could grip like is it a clean clut right to the wing or is anything u could get some mole grips on ?

I know mate, tis sods law. Nothing to grip at all, the break is about 1mil down and nice and clean lol will pop to halfrauds tomorrow and see if they have something. Not to worry, it is (or would have been) a nice easy job. They look great and really good quality. Thanks for all youve done with this mate! What a star!!!

Right I have 3 extra sets of Newage fitment dampers suitable for bugs & blobs available, they are going to be priced slightly more than the Gb price but only a fiver more expensive, so who are the lucky 3 that won't have to wait 3 weeks to get there hands on them! I haven't advised these in the for sale section yet but will do if no interest by tonight.

Once these have sold it will be back to a group buy so be quick, if anyone is interested feel free to drop me a pm or message on the thread...

Price: £50 posted per set

Thanks

Csf
