Where are you getting the kit from? Do they do bulk buy discounts? I could do with one!
Is it a standard width rack that is used in a standard book locost with standard width wishbones?
I have a rack and can buy a 2.4 quick rack kit (rack and pinion) for £50 ish. Are they easy and simple to fit, or shall I just buy a quick rack?
Cheers,

I uprated an Imp rack some years back using a Jack Knight pinnion (just over 1 turns lock to lock !) it was easy --- I also fitted a new pinnion
bearing bought from a bearing supply company.
Main thing to remember is the rack should move freely without binding through full its full range of travel -- not just around the cedntre.
So it should be easy to do without any special tools or skills?
Is the width with standard arms ok for a standard locost with standard bones?

I have a spare MK2 Escort rack coming in the next few days won two on Ebay) so I'll be selling one if any of you guys are interested.
Apparently they are just ok -- depends on the steering rack sits fore-aft in relation to the outer track rod ends.
Sierra track rod end are a bit longer than cortina/escort ones

I got a quick rack from RD, I thought of fitting the kit, you will need new gaiters and oil etc so now I have 1 standard & 1 quick and I can fit a kit at my leisure
