Sierra Steering Track.

I am going to be using a sierra rack for my build..

what's the track of the book car?
Is the sierra track wider?

Do the GTS wide track wishbones suit the sierra track?

Cool so just use the GTS bones with my sierra rack and not worry about hunting down the mythical escort MK2 rack..

When I was at the scrappy a week or two back I can't remember seeing any Esc/Cap/Cort... Even the Sierras are starting to thin out...

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that GTS' intention is for you to use a MKII rack and then fit extensions to the track rods.

Alternatively you may be able to use a chopped Sierra rack (MK will chop it for you) and then put the extensions on.

If you use a Sierra rack it needs to be chopped in the middle- this is so that the mounts end up inside the chassis and also sorts out bump steer.

If you have a lathe you could chop it yourself I guess but I'm not 100% how they do this.

Hope that helps (and isn't complete bollox!),
