Hello,
When building my coilovers I forgot to install these and would like to source a pair. Does anyone happen to have a set in Canada or know where to source? I've searched online the dead internet for hours trying to figure out the part name and all the diagrams I found online are incorrect.
Thank you!

The upper mounting studs for the struts are part of the stock upper spring seat/perch. This is normally not retained with coilovers.
The strut hat slips over the spring seat/perch allowing the studs to pass through. As part of my coilover kits, I weld stainless bolts to the strut hat.
My level 1 coilover kit provides 2 new strut hats modified with studs, 2 new bump stops, and all stainless hardware for $175 shipped in the US. Shipping to Canada would be $35 additional.

Thank you for the suggestion. I do already have all these parts in the photograph you posted, with the exception of the weld on the bolts. To spend over $200 in this case to repurchase parts would be a poor investment at this time. Again, I appreciate the suggestion!
Happy weekend, everyone!
Edit: This idea actually made me realize I can just tack my bolts to the strut hats which should work just as well. Your strut hats look clean and professional Thank you!
