cheers
cheers m8, that would be really helpful, as the ones that had turret tops were rs2000 i think, but im sure they where the same mounting as the bottom on the s12 top and bottom, the std mk2 escort ones are bout 4" shorter than the s12 ones.

where did you buy them from also, i live just down the road to burton power, but when i rang them, they didnt really want to help me.
