The sierra strut and hub is a lot stronger than a capri and you can run cossy brakes.
The top mount is just mk2 escort with a couple of top hats made up for the top of the strut and a made up rose jointed TCA or you could lengthen the orginal one.

do you know what scrub radius you run ?
if its a lot longer it will mess me up as I need to keep the car low.
the original cars ran a 10j front rim anyway so I may be ok with 11.5j fronts, i suppose i better see what size tyres are available for 9j rims and see if theres any at 23.4" diameter.
original capri tyres are 22.7" total diameter
freakin tiny lol
