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.

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