GTS?


Rally Designs do them..

or ask your local parts place how much they are, and how much the surchage is. If the rack it £30 and the surcharge is £30 then just don't take in an exchange.

Saturn has just agreed trade prices from Rally Designs so will be putting escort racks, 2.9 and 2.4, on the website soon. Also lots of other Haynes related products. Also no VAT to add to the price as not VAT registered yet - so make the most of it peeps.

The Sierra will fit if you short it, I´ve done it and it was not so hard.
You may have mod a little in the chassi, look at this pic...

Yep, all you have to do is cut the rack proper by ~19 cm, drill & tap it for M14x1.5 (or is it 9/16 UNF?), and shorten the shell. Personally, I'm not sure I have the means to do that -- a cheap hand drill will hardly do to drill a 20 mm d12 hole in hard steel What is the right way to drill a hole along the axis in a 50 cm long rod?

Using a milling machine would be the best way and probably the safest.
