The rubber section of the MK1 top mounts slowly spread and you get play where the cup sits. I originally remade some oversize cups to take up the slack the steel ones had, but it didn't last long as the rubber just isn't compliant due to age so just stretched more . You can't get ford top mounts anymore BUT Nissan Micra mounts can be used and are cheaply sourced, so a good mod.
