Steering Column Choice HELP
sammini7 - 19/10/20 at 09:15 PM

HI,

I have a Ford Escort Mk2 Steering Quick Rack (2.4 Ratio) and I'm wondering what the best choice is for my steering column.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your photos seem to indicate you already have a column and steering wheel, are you trying to link this up to the escort rack, what is it from? Can you weld?

I used a Sierra Column, connected up by a sierra to escort universal joint, a suitable splined shaft (400mm worked for me) and another universal joint in my Fury. I ripped out an Escort steering column as I didn't fancy being impaled during a head on.

Switch gear and shrouds are now very expensive for Sierra columns. I would pick mx5.

I've fitted a Westfield column to my car,best choice by far if you don't want any indicator stalks etc.
I converted from a sierra column with stalks to a Westfield column using a Freewheel wireless bluetooth system for the indicators etc
