I would have a look at an Escort quick rack. These are available together with mounts and bushes from Rally Design who also supply a universal joint that will fit straight on. Splined bar is available from several suppliers including Stuart Taylor and DJ Sportscars. Hope this helps.

cheers

is the UJ the "group IV coupling" on rally design?

Escort rack is by far the most common closely folloewd by the Sierra.
The quick rack is good but go for the 2.9 as the 2.4 is a bit too quick, ok for racing but a little twicthy for road use.
