    Turret / strut top domed?

    Not sure what the correct name is, I have the idea that I both turret and strut top see being used for the same. Anyway's, about these, how flat should these be? Looking at the attached picture, is this domed or nothing to worry about? Reason for asking is that the top/tip of my GAZ adjustable shock is to high and is hitting my bonnet (with two little dents/bulbs on the outside as a result ). I bougt a "205 Group-N Strut Top Bearing & Bush Kit" to replace the rubbers in the topmount since these are also older and I do hop that will help a bit with the height issue, but I'm not sure whether that will be sufficient. If domed(ish) and I will bring it back in shape (wit a piece of wood and a hammer, as I have seen being suggested many times heren on the forum ), is than not there a high risk that they will reshap again within no-time? The material did have some stress during the years and after the reshaping, which isn't helping in the strength, and especially since group-n is going to be used in the topmounts, so shock impact will even be a bit higher. Should not als some strengthening (plate) be applied? And if strengthening plate is adviced, I always do see it being welded on the top, why not on the inside? On the inside I would think it is stronger (the shock pushes upwards) and also looks nicer (you wont see it). A few mm will be added in the ride hight, but I wouldn't mind. What are your ideas about this? And are there any known suppliers of these strengthening plates, other than Spoox (I can't find them), or can any of you post a drawing so I can get them made in a workshop nearby?
  2. Still unsure if you can actually fit a turret into the rear of a torsion bar equipped pug, I thought I'd post up the actual wording of the regs, and see what people reckon. so; Technical regs for Stage rallying, page 303 2012 Yearbook. but.. its still a trailing arm with a torsion bar... Any Scrutineers about?
