The smaller bush goes underneath as a reducer spacer and the longer threaded insert goes through the top.

I don't need the bushes anymore then ? so the coilover's will just be solid onto the top mount ? Just never had them before and want to be sure.

Cheers for that ! Will be fitting them this weekend. Just going to take my time on drilling the two holes through the strut top, make sure they are perfect before drilling

Yes, you retain the black alloy top hat and do away with EVERYTHING Ford inc that bearing you still have on the shock.
