Use Capri ones with a spacer in the bottom to take up the longer strut length. I usually use a piece of thick wall tube in the bottom cut to length.

Hey wozzah what strut tops do you run? because the shocks that I bought have a skinny shaft so they don't suit the strut top, there is to much play.

I used the part number you said

There use to be sleeves supplied with the shockers to fit both size strut tops (there are 2 different pin sizes).  If you haven't got them or need some let me know, I may have some kicking around from an install.  Either that or use early Mk1 escort tops, they should fit.

If you could look for the sleeves that would be great. I'm kinda stuck with the car on jack stands now til I can figure out wat to do.
