Martin @ MEF does a rj top mount to suit the 2 bolt shells when using coilovers.

Best to ask Tony , Nutsrus off of here for more details.

I thought it was only a case of changing the top mounting over from early to late or visa versa?

could always cut the strut tops of a late mk 3 or even a mk 4

and cut yours off and weld them up

depends on what stage ur cars at ?

u rebuilding it or it already done and looking for a easy swap ?
