Hi Ade.
They look similar to the mounts in our car. Never had any problem with them
I think ours were made by TransautoSport many years go I hade to design and make adaptor plate to suit the later shell when re rebuilt the car as it had the Later 6 bolt mounts.
I’ve got some close up photos somewhere I’ll dig them out for you.

I've a road going 1984 Sud Gold Cloverleaf that is lowered and has too much negative camber up front.
Any reasonably priced solution for top mounts?
Or has anyone created adjustable camber at the bottom of the strut?

The hub bolt holes can be elongated to allow the angle between hub and strut to be altered enough to correct camber, that's how I did mine on advice from people in the know
I'll try and dig some shots out.

That's what I had on the struts I got from John, Paul at MDZ Italtec spent some time setting them up for me because my Sud is lowered.

I wonder if something like this could be adapted to fit?

Even if you could get one stud through to hold it in place and mark and drill the mount for the rest. Personally I’d rather drill / modify the mount than the car body.
Might have to have a measure up because I don’t think I’m going to be able to leave my ride height alone for much longer...
