Recently, reports of the formation of endohedral cluster compounds He@C(n)+ and Ne@C(n-4)+ , (n even and less-than-or-equal-to 60) have been published for high energy collisions between C60+ and rare gases [1-4]. Here we present the collision energy dependence for the formation of He@C60+ and Ne@C60+ in the region of the energetic threshold for the capture process. The threshold for He capture lies at 6 +/- 2 eV in the centre of mass reference frame whereas that for Ne lies somewhat higher at 9 +/- 1 eV.
