[baz-r]

just got me a bargin rack and guss what its got a finer pitch on the ends where the track rod ends go on im gussing its a mk1 escort rack not a mk2.
is the only diffrence the track rod end threads or are there any more major changes from mk1 to mk2
its a ap lockheed ts 116 recon

The racks are generally similar but the mk1 rack has imperial threads which won't fit the Sierra track rod ends.

Cheers

thankyou mr gibbs its an honour to have one of my questions by the man himself :cool:

so i could just make up some extensions to suit then :p or just change the rods/knuckle joints over

Hi, you could make your rack extensions with different threads either end and it should be fine remember the book extensions are too long

mk1 has a 1/2unf end people

I used a mark one rack on mine, they seem to be easier to get than the mark 2 ones and half the price. All you need to do is make your own rod extensions so they have a 1/2 unf thread instead of the metric one. I have not seen anyone offering extensions with an imperial thread so buying extensions will not be an option.
