the car is designed for the escort rack, There's nothing that we know of with front mounted rack of the correct dimensions.

There is one known alternative -- shortening the original Sierra rack. That's what Janne E has done:
 You can find more pics of the mounts and the rack on his build thread: http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showt...?t=3168&page=4

Could anyone possibly provide dimensions of the escort rack?
Is it only the MK1 and MK2 racks that fit? or does the Mk3 also fit?

I don't think the mk3 rack will work as I think the steering arms are on the other side of the uprights? ie you will turn the wheel to the right and the rack will push the uprights left? I could be wrong as it's been 12 years since I last jacked up a mk3 XR3i...
