Default GC camber plates differs 2mm vs strut rod

Hi guys,

Bought a new set of coilovers! H&R Clubsport with Nürburgring setting.

Using my old ground control camberplates but the bearing hole in the plates are 16mm whereas the threaded rod from the struts are 14mm.

What to do?

Thanks

I go to my lathe and turn a set of adapter bushings....

I assume you would be able to order a set from Ground Control.

Local machine shop?

Yes i guess a bushing would be necessary.
And probably need to get custom machined.

Ok then I'll start looking into this.

Thanks

One more Q guys...

I'm thinking if this looks correct? Should it look like this where the top hat meets the camberplate?

Also will the M14 nut go down all the way against the bearing from upp?


When end the nut is torqued the top hat will bind against the camberplates.
Top hat is from H&R coilover. Should there be a GC top hat?










thanks again
