mk 1 capri front struts

[matthewMK11970]

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?

Hmm just sold them.

For shure Capri mk1½ / mk2 / mk3 wont fit.

Next option as they are rare ( its only '69-'72 Capri's) convert to the later legs which is a straight swap.

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.
