Hi got a 2.8 compact forest spec car, got hockley front legs with the escort forest inserts with spherical solid type top mounts. The question I have is the bearing's don't seem up to the job and I am wondering if the standard type evo ones will fit onto the escort inserts, anyone know? Thanks

Ok, it's all quiet. I'll ask a different way, maybe makes more sense. Does anyone have a M3 evo- top mount off the car and can measure the hole in the center ?
Thanks Steve

Just done this.
Put escort inserts into the legs and used M3 offset top mounts.
Had to knock out the ball bearings and replace them with different ones that have a larger hole to take the Escort struts.
The bearing came from Simply bearings.
2 x 60042RS Budget Rubber Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing 20x42x12mm (6004-2RSH-EU) = £6.30
So far seems to be working well.
We're doing the RAC shortly so that should test it!

Thank you for the reply, so not a straight swap but close
. Good luck next week doing the Wyedean the week after myself. Thanks again
