I dunno who runs Gaz Coilovers, but when i was taking mine apart i noticed that the top mount didnt spin on the bearing due to it coming into contact with the top plate.
So i have put 12mm worth of spacers, on top of the top plate.
Then put the bearing on top of the spacers, and then put the top mount on.
And then the top washer, and did up the nut.
This has made the tops of the threads alot lower down, thus meaning they wont damage your bonnet.
