Default Any ideas on what to do about this? (strut top hat problem)

Ok I bought this car used, and its turning out to be a ******* headache, I just bought all brand new suspension, tokico illuminas, H&R sports, suspension bushings, so I just got my car back today and pulled apart the first strut thinking I would be done in 2- 3 hours tops, well lucky me, the top hats are missing the rubber spring mount. Number ten on this diagram http://www.hondaautomotivepart...ORBER
So I need to get one by this weekend and have called all the local honda shops and there is nothing available. Is there something else I can use? Or maybe someone might have these in socal they can sell me and Ill come pick them up. PLEASE HELP Ive been out a car for almost a month and a half and this is all I need to get it on the road.

Let me know any ideas you guys may have or if you guys have any you wanna sell me. Thanks

i think i might have a few extra. PM me.

you can probably pocket them for free at the junkyard tho.

you can also get by without them. i dont recommend it for too long. but i wouldnt worry about it too much at the moment.

I'm pretty sure energy suspension makes urathane ones. around here energy bushings and stuff are usally easier to get than oe type from most parts places.

I dont' run those, I just put my spring in the metal cup, it's a little noisier, but drops about 1/2 an inch from the ride height.

you can run without them just put some wire loom around the top coils so it muffles the metal to metal sound
