Hi mick
Your have a job trying to find extensions escort to mx5 track rod ends best bet is phil if you can get hold of him. I think some other guys have used ford track rod ends but you would need to modify your hubs I think!!! ask stot or davidbolam. I made my ones to go from escort to mx5 track rod ends have a look at my build diary there on there somewhere if you get stuck give us a shout and I will knock you some up at some point. ( I'm no machinist but they do the job)

Phil made my extensions for me. Originally I went for the Sierra track rod ends with the normal extensions. The ones from phil worked much better with mx5 rod ends.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).

Phil has taken a job with somebody else running talon along the side. The best was to get hold of Phil is to use his house number which is on his profile calling after 8pm. His mobile phone doesn't have sound, so if you want him, text or ring. He is a tidy bloke, but burning the candle at both ends looking after his disabled wife, working & talon Motorsport. I know that this doesn't help you, but when you do get the parts, they fit perfectly first time ! Hang in there son, obi Phil kinobi will use the force & detect your pain ! Lol

Thanks for the replies guys Phil has been in touch and I'm going to wait for him to make me some when he can, I have already had stuff from him in the past and as you all say perfect work can't fault him in anyway
Regards Mick
