actually i think mine just needs adjusting, there's too much free play in it

On their website this morning, that rack is £64.50.

Hang on a minute, it's not £64.50, it's

£75 79 (don't forget the VAT, some firms rely on people thinking that the price they see is the price they pay, and Rally Design is one of them. This silly practice is rife in the motor trade)

A mate of mine has an unused LHD escort rack if anyone is interested?
£90.00 inc postage.
U2U me if you like.
Cheers.

Have you called your local (large) motor factors? I bought one this way last year and exchanged a busted mk1 bringing the cost to 40 quid...

I've got a reconditioned standard rack -never fitted - £40 plus p+p or pick it up.

Cheers

Hi yep for STD ratio reconed racks use your local motor factors. should be no more than £45-£50 + p&p ( or from here if someone has one for sale ^^^.)

Also off interest i hear that QUAIF have there 2.2 ratio rack back on the market. Although cant confirm as i have not as yet asked them myself. But it would be good if they have the good old 1.9 ratio back in production.

Cheers Matt
