A couple of escort column joints
flak monkey - 17/1/10 at 05:41 PM

I am after 1 or 2 gp4 steel escort column joints.

I need to move the column in my car to avoid the supercharger outlet pipework

Anyone got any spares?

Thanks,
David

Fiesta mk3 (or mk2 can`t remember) have a spline on one side and 16 or 17 mm hex on the others side. Might be usefull?

Ahh cool, is the spline the same as mk2 escort?

I need to work out where I can get away with welding, and where I cant, just incase I need to replace or change the column at any point.

I have a removeable joint on the column and on the rack. Then each shaft thats supported by a bearing needs one removable joint too.

It fits onto s sierra rack, i think that the sierra and escort racks are the same.

only a few quid from rally design if you are struggling

I don't think they are. (could be wrong though...)

Do you have a link at all Nat?
I've looked before and not managed to find one on there!
