Hi James
I don't think that you will find the ruber ring is available as a service part. Had a sneaky feeling that the rubber ring is riveted in place, I have just been out to check mine & it is definately, factory riveted. The long & short of it is, you'll probaly have to buy a whole new assembly from Ford Rally Design do a suitable steering rack coupling though

I am with you on that one Mark
Not the cheapest to buy but at least it will get rid of that rubber ring that's going to be about 20-25 years old You'll find them on this page. Rally Design The forged ones are the boys to go for

Ronnie is defo right,it's a complete assembly with the rubber doughnut.
RD bits and pieces are better.

I guess you would need the Escort coupling & shaft
Would imagine that the Sierra coupling has a spline one end & a triangular bit at the other .... Better suited to joining the extension shaft to the exhisting Sierra triangular lower steering column ?? Not 100% sure on that though .... If I were to have a gripe with Rally Designs website, it would be that there is not enough product information & the images could be larger/better quality To do a real fair dinkum job, I suspect you'll need, 1 X Escort coupling, 1 X Sierra coupling & 1 X Extension shaft ( A quick call to RD would confirm this ) .... Soon starts to get expensive If it is of any help to you James, I belive I have a spare, original Sierra rack coupling here that is still serviceable. Just need to double check the spline size.

Fogive me James, I think I am being a little bit dim today
You probably have a coupling like this on the end of your column ? If you have, I guess the most low cost way of doing things would to do the following. Cut the pice in the photo, midway in the round section ( Circled ) Extend the shaft using some suitable, thick wall round tube. One end should then join onto the steering shaft & the other end should fit into the triangular end of the Sierra type group 4 coupling. Still best to check with RD to see if this is the case though
