hey all,
just wondered is it possible to use a sierra steering column with a escort steering rack in a MK Indy? only reason i ask is that the quickest racks for a sierra i've been told are 2.8 but there are 2.4's for the escort. are there any issues that might arise from using this combo?
i've seen a sierra column coupling on RD

The Dax MC uses this arrangement, so assume it is ok. Just not sure of the alteration to the lower column.

yeah thats the setup most use including me mines a mk 2 escort rack

Can't see any problem then. The mounts for the rack will be different no doubt but show you can alter those.

The drop link from thecolumn justs needs to be made with the approriate UJ's at either end.

standard setup on the haynes version. shouldnt be a problem

cheers guys. anyone with a MK Indy R who has used this setup and can advise on the different bits I will need or the mods I need to tell MK about before I pick up my kit e.g. do i need different u/j's and if so, which ones?

If your getting a kit id just tell MK what u want to do. Im sure they will know what to do. YOul need different mounting plates on the chassis and the steering shaft will need a different end on. MK will soon sort that for you.
