I am almost certain that the Mk3 Escort steers from the rear of the hubs !!??
If this is the case, you'll end up with clown steering if you try to fit a Mk3 rack to the front of the Sierra hubs

Correct all UK FWD fords have the rack located behind the steering pivot, so the rack is no use. I guess a FWD LHD rack could be flipped.

cheapest way i found to do this was to buy a set of taps from ebay and cut the sierra rack down, drill and tap the end and make it the book spec length, think the taps cost me about £5 and an hour on the saw and lathe
