Hi All, I have recently bought a second hand Ohlins R&T coilover kit for my car along with the Elephant racing top mounts that were supplied by Ohlins when the recalled them. I am fairly sure that there are some parts missing, as when trying to assemble the damper onto the topmount, the simply don't fit together and it appears that there should be a piece in the middle, like a spacer or a bearing to locate the spring platform / give clearence to the stud backs on the topmounts. I don't supose anyone has photos of their installation process, or could pin-point what i'm missing? Some photos below to show you the issue. Any help greatly appreciated.

Just contact Elephant Racing, they are very responsive and helpful. On their website there's a small installation guide, but it's not specific to the Ohlins. ( link ) This is the only photo I could find :
I'm sorry, I'm dumb....as the top mounts are now included with the shocks from Ohlins, the manuals from Ohlins also cover the top mounts. Ohlins website Mounting Instruction
thanks very helpful, thanks. its the rubber insulator / bearing that i'm missing, now on order!
Bit old thread but what side did you mount the Elephant racing top mounts? Left as in left sat in the car or left as in stood in front of the car?! Thanks
@dannyg was it just the bearing you required, or anything additional? Any idea which way up the bearing goes?! I have similar issues myself! Cheers!
