Default *** Strut Top Caps from CDF Racing ***

Been talking to Chris about these and hes willing to do a group buy if theres enough interest in these.

Small caps that pop on the 'black rubber' cup that covers the top of the front struts. replaces the small black cap cover the main strut nut!

The design will be slightly different from the pics and again these can be anodised in the colours of the pulleys. Still to see if these can be engraved with a logo too.

They are only small, they pop into the rubber cup in your picture, the centre cap comes out of the larger rubber cup, i'll get Chris to post a picture of one fitted.
THe engraving pics are only just a sample. I think! lol

Just had a look under the bonnet, got KYB adjustables fitted, can you tell me the measurement from top to bottom of the cap?

Many thanks

^^ Chris will need to answer that, but if you still have the black rubber cap then you should be ok.

Anymore takers?

You mean to see if these will fit yours? If you can tell me your measurements then I'll make them to suit

These look a neat little part, surprised these isn't more interest.

I would say that making it to go over the three holes would be too much hassle, due to fitting over different size strut bars etc , and it wouldn't be easy to bolt them on ...BUT , we may be able to make them fit the same way they already are but larger to cover up the rubber .. I can price these up as well if you like

thanks

Chris
Sorry for late reply, I reccon if there is 20mm top to bottom, 22mm to allow for thickness of metal top if this makes sense they will fit over my KYB's, is this possible?

Please feel free to measure your own as they may differ & I don't want blaming for anone elses not fiting

Thanks, Paul
