Someone on the site was selling rod end adaptors to do exactly what you want - but I cannot remember who, - not helping very much am I? !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Don't know if anyone else on here makes them but "type907" made mine for me. Try dropping him a U2U to see if he has any spare time to make you a pair.
Cheers,
Craig.

ps. I should make it clear that I am talking about track rod extensions which you use with standard Escort Mk2 track rod ends.

I could do it myself, but as it is a major component i wondered if any one knew if the links could be exchanged for another part , longer links

Lew, drop Gary a line as he's local and has had some made for him. He's changed jobs and now works in Totton.

Laters Dan.
