You mean widen the holes? and put in some "es mount"? I'm needing new front and rear and didn't know you could use SVT mounts for zetec, so could ya just clarify these for me?
Thanks



I tried to install an SVT front roll restrictor into my
'97 Zetec MTX. It does not fit out of the box.
You'd have to drive out the studs from the SVT mount
(the Zetec uses bolts) and enlarge the mounting holes on
the mount (they're cca. half inch mismatch both sides IIRC
with the frame holes, so you have to make the round holes
into slots).

Seeing how much material I would have had to remove from
the mount in order to make the hole large enough, I decided
not to do it, as I don't think its a good idea to weaken the mount
at that spot. It'd also make the mount off-center (unless
drilled perfectly), I don't know how important that is.
The geometry of the mount (position of the center bolt) is
also slightly different, but that's probably within tolerance.

It is certainly possible though, and prolly I'm just
overcautious.
