Mk1Daniel Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Right so I have a Mk1 escort 2 door. It has the larger top hat. I want to fit roller top hats and need shorter inserts. Anyone know what the best options are? Have used the search function but some of what I've found is neither here nor there. I was considering ordering the tophats from burton but if there is a better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really mate if you want roller top hats the best option is from Burtons or rally design or eBay or even palmside.co.nz. As for shorter inserts you can get the from the places mentioned above . I have had a new set of shocks in the past from the shock shop and got them to machine them down to keep the lowered springs captive . If having them machined down is the way yoi want to go to be honest pretty much any engineering place could do it for you. I have also heared of poeple using shocks out of toyotas that have been shorter from the factory....but you would need to google that.
