These look close mate, i have a brand new set, on the box it details qh1567 as the quinten number and gm 90129642 344506 but on the actual bearing the number is gm 90105394, hope this helps, maybe someone can trace the number back from that maxpart one Very Happy

right gte is in for a make-over i own an e30 bmw also and was tinkering with strut tops they are a perfect fit on the strut. i am going to go to a scrappy and get strut towers cut from an e30 and weld them into the gte. that will leave the 3 holes needed for the tops. at the minute i have mk2 astra tops on but i dont like the way they stick out of the tower about 40mm or so. i will let you all know how i get on

Mk2 Buddy. Its always the same. The sellers list them as Mk1 even though they are Mk2. They do the same in Germany.

If you click on the link guys it shows you just how similar the BMW E30 top mounts are. Looks like this would be a very easy modification.

Simply remove 2 of the E30 pins and drill a hole where the mk1 top mount has one, then knock the pin back in. Finished.
