Camber plates issue - too thick, no threads

[Don Nguyen]

I am trying to install some camber plates onto my Moton coilovers, but I noticed that once I try to put on the camber plates, there isn't enough exposed threads on the top of the shaft to allow me to even get one turn of the nut on there.

It almost seems like my top hats are too thick and if I were able to get shorter ones, then it'd fit together without issues. Is this a common practice?

I don't currently have the shocks with me, but I found a picture online of someone who had a similar issue as me.

Post some pictures. Maybe you have the wrong reducer bushings, or the bushings/spacer on in the wrong order...

Here are the pictures of the set up. The shocks originally came with factory spring hats, which fit without issues, but with the camber plates they seem to sit too high.

Don't you lose the hats when camber plates are add...think I did with my bmw when I added plates..just a guess!!!

Why is there a spacer under / inside the spring hat? The Spring hat should bottom out on the shock shoulder.

Oh yea, of course the hats are no longer used when the camber plates are put on there, haha. I don't think you would even see the strut's post if I were to try and stack the camber plate on top of the top hat.

From what I gathered, it is because the top perch hat has a 16mm opening and the spacer/bushing inside is a ruducer to 14mm to fit onto the shocks's shaft/post.

Here is what Motons need to be mounted on a 964/993



usually you get a couple of bushing sets

You use a pair on each side that matches the mono-ball opening & shock shaft, the bushes usually come w/ the camber plate kit

Thanks for the pictures. My camber plates look like they have the correct bushing pieces, but it is my helper spring perch hats that have too tall of bushings. I've tried searching online to find shorter bushings, but I can't seem to find them as easily as I thought.
