I was looking at this as my jubilee clips have taken a clattering as well and I haven't driven the car anywhere yet.
My brother had a similar problem when he owned a ford puma and put on larger wheels and managed to get some lock stops from ford. They were originally from a Ka. Not sure if these would fit on the Escort rack. I do like the look of the RS components clamps. May give them a try. David

Just fitted the RS shaft clamps. They seem to fit the rack perfectly and clamp up nice and tight.
Hopefully they'll last a bit longer than my previous attempt

Did you have the same problem? I am hoping that when the new steering rack extensions arrive the are slightly thinner than the ones I have already so I will not need one on the driver side David

How did you solve this? - I was going to buy the RS clamps until I read this. What did you both do?

I kept the passenger side clamp, and layed down a couple of beads of weld on the drivers side.

I made my own version of these but I put a step on the inside so that they would cover over the threaded bit the knuckle sits on.
 If you know someone with a lathe could they put a step on the inside of the ones you have so they sit futher over? Cheers Stot

I raised my steering rack as well as using the stops as the rubber bellows on the steering rack were touching the wishbones.
