Think we are out of stock at the moment too

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

any idea when your getting more made tony /


how much is involved in fitting them?

some ive seen look just like the strut tops been cut down and a steel ring with a lip, has been welded in , then the mount is just bolts onto that ?

gus

iTrader: (1)

bit more involved then that but thats the general idea

the hard part is getting them in the right place i would have thought

Ive fitted Mk1 escort eccentric top mounts with spherical bearings to my early Mk3 2 bolt shell...
Took a lot of measuring and head scratching, but its possible.

Dont have any pics i'm afraid

stuart collins

iTrader: (7)

will have them fitted on mine

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

any more info stu ?

and them top rings look a lil fat aint they ?

in the sense of where the mount sits ?

i can get the turrets fabbed up locally by a gud mate ,

its more the positioning and do the then need strengthing to the underside of the inner wing ?

seeing as were talking about it ,

are the rears feesable ?

I'd imagine the rears would be easier to do than the fronts.

Be easier to just cut a bit out of the back and replace it with a box section then the awkward shape the the front strut tops are on the escorts

iTrader: (6)

ive seen the rears done the same style as the fronts before ,

the wide arched puma in the resto sections had them done that way ?

Designed to fit up the standard late Mk3 / Mk4 turrets so minimum mods required. (2 fixing holes)

Ideal for cars running adjustable TCA's, helps to guarantee strut top castor/camber setting on fast road/track cars.

Alloy construction with replacable race spec bearing

Helps if I post a pic

smitsturbo

will the above ones fit on to a pre 83 escort??

as yours must have them top mounts as your in a 16i??

or what about these ones

[/

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

We have the type you pictured in stock, but they will require extensive turret mods to the car as per Stuarts car (flat topped towers).

The ones I pictured require NO turret mods, but wont fit your car as they are not designed for the early Mk3.

They fit straight onto all late Mk3 and all Mk4 cars as stated

matt p

Is that your car mate?

smitsturbo

i wish

its RATBOY off of here

Christian and Beccy

iTrader: (14)

That is one mother-fucking huuuuuuuuge turbo. Will certainly be impressive, if its on boost before the rev limiter!!

Looks AWESOME though.

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

wonder if ratboy has or knows how much goes into fitting them ??

also has he done the same to the rear ??

gus

iTrader: (1)

i think all that nos might help the engine spool that turbo up


he seems to have all the bases loaded on the spec list

gonna have to pop round soon dude and have a peek

swerv

how much are these, i have had a brand new pair sitting in my shed for about 4 years

Whats the advantages of these? Am i missing something?

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

When you alter bottom geometery angles with things like adjustable tca's etc, your normally pushing against a rubber top mount up in the turret. Rubbers natural tendancy is to push back potentially putting the suspension under some strange loads during hard use/cornering. These have a bearing up at the top instead of rubber so you can guarantee that what you want is what you get all the time

Any clearer ?

Billy_RS

Brilliant explanation Tony.

I'll add these to my wish list
