Identifying steering rack (for gators)
Norfolkluegojnr - 29/5/14 at 11:13 AM

Guys,

Hopefully a quick one - I've no idea what rack is no my Gemini, could be Cortina, could be Escort or something else.

Is there an easy way to identify it? both gators are split and need replacing!

Corrina, Escort racks were by the same supplier, in effect the Escort rack was just a shorter version of the Cost in a rack.

All the Gemini's I've seen are 'Scort racks.

How's the project - last update was the boom box.

I'll update the thread this weekend, as I've been given a pass for a couple of days graft.

Plan for tomorrow will be to remove and test the heater, fit a new battery and check wiring (dodgy earth somewhere), and make a shopping list of all parts needed to get back on the road.
