The manual sierra steering rack is the same as the mk2 escort but the power steering sierra is differant.

Standard Sierra downlink fits the mk 2 splines OK . IIRC its 14mm? although I'm not certain . I would have thought the pinion on the 2.4 rack was the same as a standard rack

Repper, I've sent you a u2u. This might be of help to you. Although it might take some reading.
