after much diliberation with my local motor factor, we found out that they are transit draftlinks, from around 1986 if you use cortina uprights

Draftlinks? I think you mean drag links and they are for the top wishbone not the trackrods, and that would also depend on what thread you have used on your wishbone M18=transit dragling, M20=transit trackrod end (easier to come by).
Escort mk1's have a different thread to mk2's and i have a feeling (but don't quote me on this) that the sierra is different again (m14?)
Take your upright and rack along to your local motor factors and i am sure they can sort you out a match.
Hope this helps.
Tim.

sierras have the same thread as Mk2 escorts
