Strut inserts are determined by the thickness of the thread that goes into the strut top mount. The early models have a smaller diameter hole. You need to make sure that the two match ! Later struts off Mk2 and Mk3 Capri's can be used and will have the larger sized hole in the strut top mount.Hope this helps ? Had this reply by email from another club. found the answer to problem and have fitted Mk2 strut inserts into Mk 1 and changed top mounts to fit. Great job done at last.

Where do i get standard strut inserts for a 1970 pre face lift 2l gt mk1 capri? Also does any one know if an escort Mk1 strut insert would fit my capri struts?
