    Evening

    Anyone that has fitted these together can tell me whats wrong here. Far too much of a gap from the top spring cup to the top mount

    Whats the solution?

    I think the springs upside down? not 100% sure though, as i've never fitted them personally

    The compbrake top mounts were never designed for use with standard spring platforms. You will need your top bearing for a start and some sort of spacer I would imagine to hold everything together correctly. Usually the bearing is held in place by the standard top mount.
