PU bump stops? (Edit - polyurethane Doh!!

I think I will just cut them. This isnt the biggest issue im facing today. My top balljoints dont fit, im having to get whole new front top arms

Yup. Could not find 92-96 upper ball joints on Ebay so bought 5G front uppers thinking they would fit. Nope, thay are too fat to go through the hole. I thought the 5G would be the exact same, unless the guy sent me the wrong part but that has never happened before. So I thought that the fronts are exactly the same as the rears ang bought another set of rear ball joints, nope they have too big a spacing so that the circlip does not sit flush with the bottom of the arm. I need the whole car built by tonight so im getting whole upper arms that include the balljoint from a motor factors

Aww sh!t

How much are whole new arms setting you back. Take it EG Civic's are no good?

The arms are £60 each + VAT. I dont know about other cars, but at least I can get these arms today.

Not a bad price for the whole assembly I guess.

Yeah. Its worth me getting it done right, I havent come this far to bodge something. Also one of my front Tein's top mount bolt treaded a bit so the thread on the rod and bolt is being re-cut tonight
