Hi all
I have a 76 escort van that has a 2.0 fitted to it but it is not the original engine. I believe it may have had a 1600 in it originally. I am pretty sure the front struts are bent and want to replace them. My question is, how interchangeable are the front struts. If I get a set of struts off, say an RS2000 or something like that, will I need to change disc rotors or will the hubs be the same and enable me to use the original ones. Also, can you get a ventilated dis for these or upgrade them in some way from the solids? Just trying to work this out. Thanks in advance. |

RS2000 has small top mounts, your 76 model will be large top mounts (all model Escorts changed in '77 from memory) - the mounts are interchangeable so you would need to use your old ones. 1600 had smaller diameter springs and strut tubes than the 2 litre. Brakes interchange - check SMCKA for vented rotors and calliper spacer kit
