Rear suspension spring retainer cones

[wg_mulholland]

I need a new rear spring retaining cone on the standard rear bilstein coil over on my 99 de-dion (2 inch I>D> standard progressive springs)- But where can I get one quickly? Caterham simply say they dont/never had them stocked- 2 weeks and they'll see if they can order them in (i.e. not get them in in two weeks!). Bilstein wont sell them to me (an exclusive supply deal with caterham!),

Help! Any ideas?

if you can establish that Bilstein have them, phone up Jez Coates and ask him to give a green light for them to sell you one! It seems to work for 1 offs.

Bill,

 

Are you sure on the spring ID size???

 

Normally 1.875" or 2.25" - if you spoke to Tony in parts, and asked your question by size, he probably would not explain that to you!

ehhh, didn't actually check the i.d. size (whoops)- but I did (try to) order just standard rear cones- didn't mention size- I'll just go and check though..

A couple of years ago, I bought a couple of pairs of these cone retainers from Prodrive in Banbury, who (at least then) were the importers for Bilstein. Don't have any record of the number though, sorry. sad.gif
