I can't locate the previous thread about this.
I have had the problem on our 160SR.
My solution has been to go to a local supplier of rubber products and have them supply some neoprene rubber washers to fit over the top of the mounts.
Been on about 5 weeks and seem to work.
The size I got them to make was 90mm diameter with a 10mm diameter hole in the centre, from 3mm thick neoprene rubber.
Just push the washers onto the strut top boss.
I had wondered whether the washers would need a nut or clip of some sort to hold them on but so far they have stayed in place, (the thread on the top mount is 12mm diameter).
Cost me 50 pence + VAT each.
