Just a quick question, I have found these strut top mounts and are about to purchase them, I think my 76 mk2 has the small holes am I correct??



Out of interest who sells these? Do you have a link for full advertisement? I have seen them secondhand and labelled MaxSpeeding whom sells a wide range of bits but wanted to know more as they didnt list for Escort on their site.
 
Thanks
Howdy Rhys, found on ebay UK seller shop is allaboutfords2012 $ 320 delivered.

Another option are the MC Motorsport ones. Works out about the same $320, not sure if that is delivered though.

Best feeling in the build when you drop the engine off...

you can finally see the end of the tunnel, thats a real high point of a build that moment when you have crossed off almost everything on the to do list

Howdy yall ,Just a update on the build, my wallet has had a substantial ass kicking of late but its all gone on the car so its allowed , Just dropped the 2.4 quick rack off, new strut top mounts, new front brakes wheel bearings front kings springs, rear gaz shocks, looking for the front inserts at the moment but it's confusing me I'm running the 2ltr struts with 30mm lowered king's, Any info on this on what others are using in there 2ltr struts would be appreciated .
I'm STILL waiting on the rims  koya bn-tec's LONG story, still haven't arrived can't find them, so have ordered 15x7 superlites from the the chap who bought all performance's castings, was told three weeks but sick and tired of dealing with rims!! but hopefully the koyas arrive in that time as I had my heart set on them but if not ,the 15x7 silver superlites with polished lip will still look great,but the Semi slicks arrived today so I have tyres!!!!!.
Still can't find the brake booster in the shed of doom, but i really dont want to put it back anyway prefer a clean engine bay,plus want to run the twin 40s,Exhaust and headers should go on tomorrow and the one piece tail shaft and hopefully I can fire up the engine next weekend.

Not sure about the sizes, but I got my struts from Motorsport in the UK and they ended up to long thus had to spend big $$$ to mod them so I would stick with an OZ company if you go down this path.
