Can anyone tell me the difference

[fezza]

Between the rally design RS style strut top plates and the origonal ones,are the rally design ones a different shape??,ive heard people saying that they dont fit very well

 

heres a pic of the rally design ones,has anyone got any pics of genuine ones or engine bay pics to get an idea

 

 

 

Are these rubbish ?????

[Tom]

i think those are grp4 or something mate the RS ones are a lot smaller

[fezza]

Hmmm,i was in there today and they said they were the Avo ones? the hole in the middle is 95mm approx,does anyone know what size mine would be,its a 1976 mk2 escort 1.3 popular,what size would mine be ?

 

Also could i trim these down to size ?

[tim]

for a 76 mk2 they were large 110 mm after that they were the small hole,the RD 1s arent the RS strut tops

these are small hole rs stop plates

 

the rd ones are similar to how the avo top plates were done.are you looking for a repair panel or for a to plate to make it look like an rs?

roy nunns does the rs top plates stamped if u want.id go for large hole as that what your car should have and you can get more top mounts for large hole

Cheers for the info Tim

i just kind of wanted the RS top plates,im not doing a replica or anything,its just because im doing the whole engine bay anyway i thought i would stick them on because i like the look of them

Does Roy Nunn have a website or anything?

No website for Roy, he's Old Skool!

 

Give him a ring on 01299 877092.

 

A lot of people who say that some strut Top Plates don't fit forget to say they have repaired their originals!

 

Roy's are exact duplicates of the Ford ones and fit perfectly over Ford inners.
