so i am just checking this is the right ports and spring angle. The pic is upside down as to see the ports. I have seen that a few people have done this so I am checking I am doing it right and if anyone has done this before I would appreciate any tips and things to look out for

Didn't rubjonny write up a "how to fit a Mk2 compensator to a Mk1", maybe it can be adapted for caddy.

I have no idea if a Mk1 Caddy had a compensator from new but if it did, and you removed it, I can understand why it failed without (rears locking and no front??)

I think it was part of his build thread - I've seen it, but I don't think it was a dedicated how-to.
