A way to make Turner plates work with TCK's?

[Cubieman]

I wondered if there was a way to make Tuner camber plates compatible with TCK (Koni) struts, they have a 14mm tapered shaft that the Tuner plates do not accept.

I thought if I got enough dimensions if I could have a collar made so these two products might work together.

I currently have Vorshlag plates and want something with a bit more compliance but still more adjustable than OEM.

If i'm understanding your question correctly, Tyler did this to fit his MCS 1WNR (14mm shaft) to the Turner Street Camber plates (16mm) inner diameter opening. I have no first hand experience with Koni, but this may get you started.

He used a radial bearing to fill the gap, then pressed camber plate onto the shaft with bearings pre-installed

This helps, thank you!

Unfortunately I have the additional issue of the Koni shafts being tapered so that brings an additional challenge it would seem.

I spent a lot of time in this rabbit hole and eventually gave up and went with Vorshlag plates. I know when I ordered them I had to specify TCK tapered struts. Perhaps Vorshlag can sell you just the tapered collars?

I was thinking off doing that, maybe I will, I suspect they will know what I am up to, but whatever I already purchased their product.

I did this as well with the Turner plates and MCS, though there was no pressing them on, for could have been tighter tolerance.

I have seen some conically tapered washers that would, if the correct angle, sit against your tapered Koni shaft, and then present a flat surface on top to mate with the flat camber plate bearing edge. Doesn't the stock assemply have a tapered washer? Maybe I'm thinking of another car. Maybe search some hardware stores or McMasterCarr?

I guess TCK says they have some, under the "parts" section on their site it shows 10mm collars, but the link is bad on their website.
They really need to update that site.

I told them I needed a 14mm tapered to 16mm shaft collar for the Tuner plates and they said what they have would work, so thats encouraging.


Edit: I guess TCK does NOT have what I just described.

I sent an email through thier site asking about that very specific thing, a 14mm tapered collar to a 16mm diameter collar.

They said they had the part and sent me a bad link, then I responded to tell them the link was bad, but I would like to buy the part, once again describing the part.

I was then told they have no such part, oh well.
