A few set backs once again,the strut tops I ordered are for the small struts I have the large so they don't fit (soooo close its anoying) luckily they come apart so should be able to find someone to mill, laser cut some alloy circles the same just a bit bigger
Hi just ordered these from the UK, please explain if they are worth getting don't want to have to modify to fit ?? My escort has small holes 1980.
Hi Chris you won't have a problem they are really well made, I'm really not happy but should be able to get them made to fit

Have you paid for them yet Chris? as I have found the same in the large hole, so if you haven't paid you can buy mine and with the money I can buy the large.

Well EPIC day today everyone, very productive, finally got the carbon on, lights in and working except for low beam? All the suspension is now complete, And to finish the day got the engine started and running, sounds great and was enjoying watching the car rocking on the hoist as the cam was lumping over, Massive smile.

That seat looks nice and comfy!
The car is looking awesome though, you must be absolutely stoked with it.
