Track rod ends. Mexico RS2000?

Just a quicky, again!
Whats the difference between the normal Mk2 Escort TRE and the Mexico/RS2000 ones?

TRE (Track Rod Ends)
There are two different tapers and two different threads

Escort MkII Escort are M14 with the metric (large) taper. (this also include granadas to 1987, Cortinas MkIII and Mk V to 1982). FT722 , QR1834
Capri MkI, MkII, MkIII all up to September 1987, also some Escort Mk I and other fords (Fiesta up to 1993, Orion and Escort MkIII and MkIV, to 1990). are imperial thread and imperial (small) taper. Part number; Ford 6128814 & 5021410. Direct Part Number DR2377, AMR1205
MkII RS2000 uses MkII Escort rack and Capri uprights and so uses a hybrid TRE (M14 thread, but small taper). These are also known as “green” TRE, as they are (you guessed it) Green (at least the For original one, this doesn’t apply to the equivalent pattern parts!). AMR4118. 1564468. AM260

Most TRE labelled RS2000 on e-bay are wrong. I had to send 2 pairs back before spending more money on proper ones.
