Are these a straight fit onto the front of an Escort Cosworth or do you need different strut tops.Also i need the two clips for the top that fit into the groove on the strut body.Are these just circlips?

Theres a groove at the top where a clip must fit to keep the top hat on.I'm short of whatever sits in there.A circlip would probably do but i would rather have the correct item.

you wouldnt as its one of the hardest things to remove and refit,a circlip is just fine but you wont need one,your original strut top plate will hold it in place.
