Hi,

I'm buyilding a McSorley +4 with DeDion rear end using normal length Sierra drive shafts.

I've got a pair of Cortinal uprights but haven't yet made the wishbones or bought a steering rack.

I know everybody seems to use a Mk2 Escort rack with extensions but are there any sensible alternatives which avoid the extensions? I just don't like the idea of adding an extension to this safety critical part if it could be avoided.

RD were on here a week ago; they are planning to make racks with longer track rods. If this is not immediately urgent, I suggerts you wait a bit ro give 'em a cal as to when (I'd like to know too!)

If however you want an escort rack then I will have one available soon as I have just bought a quick rack.

And if he doesn't want it, I'll have it

Nowt wrong with extensions. Just a lump of steel that's no more likely to fail than any other lump of steel on your car if it's properly specced.

We have an Escort rack spare but willbe setting off to stay with mates on way to Oulton park before 6pm. If anyones desperate send a swift u2u and we could bring it down with us.
